Overview

Mission

We are people with disabilities advocating for inclusion, equity and accessibility in all communities. We envision people with disabilities as valued, with rights that are undeniable and inherent in all aspects of life.

What it reported doing in 2024

Annually tens of thousands of individuals with disabilities, and communities at large, receive independent living and community services from the independent living network. This includes delivery of five core independent living services to people with disabilities and completed individual and community goal outcomes. The silc co-develops a three-year state plan for independent living (spil) and is responsible for monitoring and evaluating the effectiveness of the spil.

Operating model

Revenue model
Grant-funded. 100% 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 - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
