Pluk provides access to high quality educational, medical, and rehabilitation services, dissemination of best practices in the fields of education, medicine, the law, human services, rehabilitation, and technology to ensure that caregivers of those with disabilities have access to high quality services, have the ability to share information, and provide emotional support to one another.due to the loss of the federal office of special education programs' pti grant for fy 2020, pluk was unable to continue serving the families of Montana. Pluk closed its offices as of september 30, 2019, and the board of directors authorized to dissolve the corporation as of june 30, 2020.

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
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 expenses are high relative to revenue.
