Overview
Mission
Our mission is to glorify God by empowering adults with developmental disabilities to be independent self-advocates who are fully integrated into the surrounding communities.
What it reported doing in 2024
We are very proud of the work that we completed in 2024 to help individuals with developmental disabilities grow in the areas of life skills, social skills, functional academics, communication, and so much more! We took individuals into the community to help facilitate them being accepted, included, contributing members of society. The adults we serve have been able, throughout this year, to make meaningful and engaging connections with friends and community members, which would not have been possible without the knowledge, experience, and resources of our volunteers. We are working to help individuals meet personal goals for lifelong learning as well as dreams. This year, we got a little more into making art in order to express ourselves and we were intentional about helping our friends get into nature in various places and forms, putting a focus on mental as well as physical health. We also began the process of creating a beautiful outdoor space for the individuals that we serve to enjoy, which includes an accessible picnic table, bench, and wheelchair swing. Our passion for giving adults with disabilities a voice has lead us to finding various communication outlets for those we serve, to include using iPads with communication software, picture cards, predictive text software, and letterboards for expressing themselves. It is important to us that every individual who comes through our doors is able to state, not just their wants and needs, but their feelings, their desires, their dreams, their thoughts. Number served: In the 2024 calendar year, we served thirteen individuals.
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
SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
