What it reported doing in 2024

The following are a few of reeha's program services: operating the low vision center, which provides low vision rehabilitation services to individuals with visual impairment, regardless of their ability to pay. Low vision rehabilitation is a costly, time-intensive endeavor, serving over 300 unique patients each year to reduce the impact of vision loss and improving independence and quality of life in its patients' lives. 2) providing free vision and hearing screenings for pre-kindergarten children to detect potential visual and auditory problems at an early age, which is critical for academic success. Screenings are provided regardless of income or insurance, and patients are referred to a vision physician to receive follow-up care. Along with screenings, reeha provides educational information regarding the importance of visual and auditory health, and 3) providing outreach for print disabled individuals, supporting a parent-child advocate program for the deaf and hard of hearing community, and donating funds a local free clinic for uninsured patients. Reeha also provides grant funds to colleges and universities to support research studies in the areas of hearing and vision disease, and in partnership or directly other organizations that promote community healthcare. The parent organization of reeha is an owner in stony point surgery center.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 80% of the money available for current operations came from other operating 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

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of total spending goes to programs and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
