Overview

Mission

To be a force for change in the lives of people with developmental disabilities and their families so they can succeed, thrive, and experience full membership in the community.

What it reported doing in 2024

Monitoring and advocacy supports: quality trust's monitoring and advocacy program collects, tracks, and analyzes information from interviews and a wide range of documentation regarding the quality of supports provided to people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The program provides (1) technical assistance to service providers on topics that affect the quality of life for people, (2) individual advocacy supports to people in accomplishing their desired outcomes and to resolve barriers to true integration into the community (3) policy advocacy through the publication of an annual monitoring report which is distributed to local disability and government stakeholders and is posted on our website. This year staff triaged 1,200 serious reportable incidents, interviewed 399 people who experienced developmental and other disabilities, monitored over 125 people and provided in person follow-up to over 100 people who experienced significant health issues. Quality trust supported 58 new people through advocacy. Quality trust met people living in host homes, supported living, icfs, natural homes and ltac facilities.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
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.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - 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 expenses are high relative to revenue.
