Overview

Mission

Humanim's mission is to build pathways to economic equity, opportunity, and independence for individuals with barriers to employment.

What it reported doing in 2024

Developmental disability programs include an array of services intended to assist individuals with developmental disabilities to live successfully in the community and develop skills toward achieving a meaningful life at the highest possible level of independence. Programs include individual support services (iss) and community supported living arrangements (csla), provided to individuals in need of community based support services to live successfully in the community; day habilitation services, provided to individuals in need of structured day programming and community integration support; supported employment, provided to individuals in need of job development and job coaching; residential services, provided to individuals with a brain injury in need of supportive supervised housing, and behavioral support services, provided to individuals in need of behavioral assessment and consultation. All individuals in our developmental disability programs also receive case management and transportation services.

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 program spending has declined or grown slowly.
