Overview

Mission

MOKA's mission is to empower people with intellectual and developmental disabilities by creating opportunities for independence and acceptance in our communities.

What it reported doing in 2024

Supported employment and living: create job opportunities, in-home training, support and resource coordination geared towards clients with developmental, mental and/or physical disabilities. Clients served: 325

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 96% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
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. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
