Overview

Mission

Our goal is to raise awareness throughout society and promote understanding and integration within education and employment for people with disabilities.

What it reported doing in 2024

Disability etiquette and sensitivity is a program designed to enable individuals at all levels of an organization become more effective and empathetic communicators and problem solvers. We do this through sharing our own experiences; and more importantly, building on the experiences of those in the audience. They have more power than they know. We just help reveal it. We help people to see opportunities are inside obstacles, see the world differently, see themselves differently, understand that success comes in all forms, communicate more openly, communicate with confidence, think about problem solving, prioritize with a different perspective, get "out of the box and become an ally.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% 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. Revenue has declined or grown slowly and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
