Overview

Mission

Nicks Differently Awesome Outreach exists to enhance the lives of adults with developmental disabilities through training and by providing safe and accommodating employment. Having a job gives people a sense of dignity, purpose, belonging, and acceptance. Furthermore, customers will be inspired and positively changed by their interactions with these workers.

What it reported doing in 2023

Nick's Differently Awesome Outreach provided safe and meaningful employment with Nick's Shaved Ice Paradise for six young adults who have developmental disabilities and who could not find a job. A large number of Nick's customers were inspired by their interactions with Nick's employees and donated enough money to help Nick's continue its mission of providing employment for developmentally disabled individuals.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 96% 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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
