Overview
Mission
Northern Virginia resource center for deaf and hard of hearing persons (the center) empowers deaf and hard of hearing individuals and their families through education, advocacy and community involvement.
What it reported doing in 2024
The general program category consists of education, advocacy and community involvement. The center educates the community about the impact of loss of communication, both on individuals with deafness or hearing loss and all those with whom they come into contact. It advocates actively for programs and services that will enable accessible communication through technology and adapting the environments where interactions take place. Numerous other all-volunteer organizations and groups established to serve the deaf and hard of hearing community or their families are also supported through use of free meeting space and assistance with their meetings and events.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 63% 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 - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
