Overview

Mission

Pcr promotes the full participation of teens and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (i/dd) in all aspects of community life. Pcr accomplishes its mission through: (1) award-winning therapeutic, social/recreational, and respite care programs; (2) by connecting people with i/dd with services and supports that help them live healthy, fulfilling, and independent lives, and by public education and public policy advocacy work; (3) by supporting community-based organizations with similar focus; and (4) by creating community-based, safe, and affordable housing opportunities for people with i/dd.

What it reported doing in 2024

Programs for members: pcrs 32 programs include: music enjoyment and performance, therapeutic movement and exercise, art therapy, photography, communication skills, basketball, social skills, a social club, and many special events throughout the year. Among pcrs unique programs is the two-section tricia sullivan respite care program: section 1 provides families caring for individuals with severe disabilities and complex medical needs with a five-hour care-giving break while their loved ones enjoy a stimulating, therapeutic program; section 2 provides developmentally appropriate therapeutic activities for individuals with more moderate disabilities. Another major innovative program which pcr created is the graduate transition program, a post-high-school two-year certificate program in partnership with montgomery college.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 78% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 83% 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. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
