Overview

Mission

PCSI is a nationwide, values-based, mission-driven contractor that proudly serves the private and public sector. We recruit, hire, and train veterans and people with significant disabilities.

What it reported doing in 2024

The organization contracts with state and federal agencies through sourceamerica and workquest. The income and jobs from these sources are then used to provide training, education and employment opportunities to disabled individuals.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 99% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 99% 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 - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of voting board members are independent and the filing reports few safeguards for money sent abroad.
