Overview

Mission

Service to families with deaf or hard of hearing children.

What it reported doing in 2024

Federal HRSA grant to provide parents with deaf or hard of hearing children with information on various communication options for their children so the children can communicate and learn at the same levels as hearing children. 114 people attended these events and we served 124 families. We also supported a statewide conference for families with deaf and hard of hearing children.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 89% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
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. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
