Overview
Mission
With parent to parent support, education, and guidance, parents will gain a better understanding of their child with special needs and become more confident in their ability to care for and obtain the necessary services. With more knowledge and confidence, parents will not only become stronger advocates for their child, but will also become leaders in training, policy development and programs.
What it reported doing in 2024
As part of the Northern California Coalition, Matrix served as a federally-designated Parent Training & Information Center, providing information, training & support around disability issues to families of children with disabilities in Marin, Napa, Solano, and Sonoma counties. As of July 2024, this work is now a part of the Marin CIL Youth & Family Supports programs. Matrix has commenced the wind down and dissolution process.
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
MIXED - 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.
