Overview

Mission

Tash is an international grassroots leader in advancing inclusive communitites through research, education and advocacy. A volunteer organization that advocates for human rights and inclusion for people with the most significant disabilities and support needs - those most vulnerable to segregation, abuse, neglect and institutionalization.

What it reported doing in 2024

Training programs - provides educational conferences and teletraining sessions including resources for individuals with severe handicaps, their family members and professionals working in the field.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
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 program spending has declined or grown slowly.
