Overview

Mission

SSEEO provides support for stroke survivors and their caregivers as well as stroke prevention education. Due to lack of ability to generate funding the board of directors opted to close the organization at the end of the fiscal year

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
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 revenue has declined or grown slowly.
