Overview
Mission
To serve the community.
What it reported doing in 2019
Education and advocacy: education is provided by personal contact, offering sign classes, free use of our lending library, pamphlets, newsletters and workshops. The advocacy program provides assistance to deaf and hard of hearing clients by assessing needs and then advocating for them and teaching them to advocate also for themselves. In this manner they are leading themselves to increased self-sufficiency. We use assistive devices and other services to accomplish this goal.
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
SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
