Overview

Mission

Guide By Your Side program maintained through an agreement with Early Hearing Detection & Intervention organization which assist families in identifying hearing loss in baby, diagnosing that hearing loss and then signing up the family for resources to assist child with chosen mode of communication

What it reported doing in 2024

We receive income from gifts by members of the community. We also receive funds from the Early Hearing Detection and Intervention Advisory Committee ("EHDI") for services we perform on their behalf through our program Guide By Your Side. This program provides services families with a child (or children) that are deaf and/or hard of hearing. These services make it possible for EHDI to meet goals set by their grant providers, the CDC and HRSA. Part of the grant funds that EHDI receives are paid to Hands & Voices of Oregon so that children are identified as deaf or hard of hearing, diagnosed and enrolled in Early Intervention along a preset timeline.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 77% 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. Revenue has declined or grown slowly and expenses are high relative to revenue.
