Overview

Mission

Approximately 1200 families in Spokane received services and support. In addition to SCAN staff assistance, over 1500 volunteer hours were donated by community members. And over 20 speaking engagements concerning suspected child abuse and neglect were conducted.

Operating model

Revenue model
Grant-funded. 98% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 95% 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 the filing does not identify recipients for some grant dollars.
