Overview
Mission
To provide housing and programs for persons with developmental disabilities.
What it reported doing in 2024
The day services program (greater opportunities' "adult development and activity center") provides facility-based and community-based instruction and supervision to individuals and groups that is tailored to the needs, strengths, interests and preferences of consumers, in order to further their independence through the development of occupational and self-care skills, and enrich their lives through community integration and self-advocacy. Assigned activities support adult development needs and skills such as using the computer and internet; travel training, cooking and nutrition, growing vegetables; creative expression through music, dance, art, crafts, and photography; social recreational and physical fitness activities such as exercise, golf, swimming, tennis and bowling; and use of community resources such as the library, parks and recreation centers.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 99% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and expenses are high relative to revenue.
