What it reported doing in 2025

The organization supported 25+ caregivers through workshops, one-on-one guidance, and real-time advocacy strategies, equipping them to effectively communicate with schools and understand their rights. As a result, 75% of participating families reported increased understanding of special education processes, and multiple caregivers successfully advocated for appropriate services, accommodations, or evaluations for their children.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 82% 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. The filing does not identify recipients for some grant dollars and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
