Overview

Mission

To create and support a statewide network of designated family-centered programs in order to help all families get off to a healthy start. The goal of Sunrise is to strengthen families through educational & support services to families living in Bennington County and the surrounding areas; working in partnership with individuals, families, and communities to promote their healthy growth and development through encouragement of their strengths, expansion of their opportunities, and support in their time of stress.

What it reported doing in 2024

Children's integrated services: in partnership with other community partners this program provides early intervention services, mental health and nursing services, specialized childcare supports and family support worker services to preganant woman and families with children 6 and under. The program coordinator and the cis team work within the community at large to coordinate specialized supports and remediations for children who qualify.

Operating model

Revenue model
Grant-funded. 79% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
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. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
