Overview
Mission
Profectums mission is to provide DIR education and training for practitioners, educators, and families, connecting them to the critical resources needed to maximize the development of neurodiverse individuals with autism and other developmental and mental health challenges. Together, we work across disciplines to convene people, disseminate information, and build community.
What it reported doing in 2024
Profectums training aims to increase the number of DIR practitioners and educators helping individuals and families with special needs. Profectums education programs range from providing basic information about development, developmental disorders, and intervention methods to cutting-edge science and treatment approaches that stand at the frontier of the field.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 72% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
- 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. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
