Overview
Mission
ISP's mission is to heal and mentor a new generation of disability activists dedicated to redefining what independence and community means.
What it reported doing in 2024
Monthly meet and mingles provide a space to help people with developmental and intellectual disabilities build connections and learn social skills, in order to become more integrated into the community. We provide opportunities for community connections through activities like bowling, attending community art events, and game nights.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
- 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
REVIEW - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
