Overview

Mission

To foster physical, social, cognitive, and emotional growth. Serves children and their families through Early Intervention, Early Head Start, and autism programs.

What it reported doing in 2024

Early Intervention Program - services for eligible infants from birth through 2 years of age with developmental delays and disabilities in Northern Utah County.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
