What it reported doing in 2024

Day services provided supports to 534 people across a variety of site based and community settings. Programs supported individuals to develop meaningful relationships in their communities, pursue their interests and develop skills to increase independence and explore new opportunities. Notable accomplishments include the launch of arc in the park, a volunteer program in conjunction with local governments to adopt public parks and provide cleanup services. Self-advocacy programs continued to provide people supported with opportunities to support each other's ability to advocate for issues of importance to them, and connect with other self-advocates across the state and beyond. Self-advocates attended rallies in albany to advocate for legislative action on topics important to them. (continued on schedule o)day services continued to develop opportunities to deepen community connections, by supporting the establishment of a local kiwanis aktion club in orange county, creating connections with other kiwanis groups and broadening the opportunities available to program participants.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 97% 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.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

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