Overview

Mission

To foster, establish, develop, provide, support and maintain, directly or indirectly, services for persons with special needs, including persons with intellectual, developmental, and other disabilities.

What it reported doing in 2022

Provide early intervention, therapeutic and education services for children with disabilities up to the age of six years old, in order to help them become more independent and possibly allow them to enter regular schools at the age of six.

Operating model

Revenue model
Grant-funded. 97% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
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

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and most voting board members are independent. The filing reports few safeguards for money sent abroad and the filing does not identify recipients for some grant dollars.
