Overview

Mission

Provide services and support for people with developmental disabilities.

What it reported doing in 2022

Stand Together assists multiple people with disabilities and their families in developing individualized comprehensive support plans with detailed implementation steps. Some plans are very comprehensive and detailed, involving a formal future planning process while others were more focused. All plans include a description of services and a budget, and are determined in consultation with the persons and their families.

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

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
