What it reported doing in 2024
Children's services - the target population of the program has historically been to serve children from birth to age 21 years who remain ineligible for public school services due to the severity of their handicap. The programs offered include preschool (3-5) and school age (5-21). Without these programs, these children would go un-served and probably languish at home. The goal of nysarc inc. Suffolk chapter's children's services program is to help these children reach some measure of their social and intellectual potential so that they remain in the community as productive members of society.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 98% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
- Distribution model
- Cannot be determined from the filing. The program-spending lines do not add up, so the filing cannot show reliably whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.
- Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
