Overview

Mission

Service Coordination, Inc.

What it reported doing in 2024

Assist people with developmental disabilities, complex medical needs, older adults, children, and other groups needing assistance to determine and meet their needs in their preferred way by assisting to become active members of their communities with equal rights and responsibilities, as well as assisting them to obtain high quality supports and services that are minimally intrusive and provided with respect.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 100% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program 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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
