Overview

Mission

To enhance the lives of people with intellectual and other developmental disabilities. Our goal at New Hope Community is to empower the lives of the people we support. The Staff Training and Development Department equips all staff with the knowledge and tools they’ll need to make our mission come to life. One of the most effective ways we do so is through our training and orientation process. As the needs of those we support evolve, we continually develop new processes to provide flexible and diverse training opportunities for staff. Our comprehensive orientation is required of all new employees, regardless of position, program, or department. All staff are required to complete annual trainings to demonstrate competency in a vast array of topics. Our innovative training not on.

What it reported doing in 2025

Residential services - to provide residences to people with disabilities including supervision and habilitation. Residential services include intermediate care facilities and individualized residential alternatives.

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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some related-organization disclosures are missing and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
