Overview

Mission

Serve the Deaf Community in the State of Ohio

What it reported doing in 2025

Deaf/KODA Summer Camp: a four-day-long camp event that occurred on July 17-20, 2025, for deaf/kids of deaf adults (KODA) for ages 7-17. Activities included games, hiking, swimming, rock climbing, zipline, socializing, plenty of food, and catering. Everyone uses American Sign Language (ASL) to communicate and socialize. Surveys showed that the majority of campers enjoyed the camp and are eager to attend again in 2026! The grant amount recorded is from 2025. We also have another grant for this summer camp, provided in 2024. We generated a large amount of revenue from donations.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 93% 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

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and program spending has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
