Overview

Mission

To provide support and resources to families affected by Autism Spectrum Disorder and Aspergers Syndrome

What it reported doing in 2017

Birthday Club Program: This program provides a monthly birthday party at a sensory friendly venue for children with autism and their families. Some of these children lack friends or social connections and this allows them to celebrate with peers and facilitate friendships

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 76% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 87% 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

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and program spending has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
