What it reported doing in 2024
Day habilitation - in 2024, the arc provided a wide variety of day habilitation services to more than 300 individuals in five site-based settings, as well as two community based programs. Each day site provides unique opportunities for learning new skills geared to different ages and disability levels. Classes include horticulture, music, dance, and art therapy. One of the community programs focuses on volunteer efforts to help develop employment skills and the other is a retirement program that is integrated into a wide number of community programs and activities.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 87% 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. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
