Overview
Mission
The arc of calhoun county's mission is to serve people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, their families, and our community through programming, education, and advocacy.
What it reported doing in 2024
Employment services the arc's employment program helps adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (idd) to obtain and maintain employment. In preparation for work, services include: identifying job interests, training in employment skills, resume writing, job interview preparation, networking with employers, and mock interviewing. Once hired, we provide assistance with acclimation to the work setting, setting up needed supports (such as transportation), helping employers implement accommodations, and job coaching. We fade our job coaching, but provide long-term follow-up should the employer or employee need additional support in order to maintain the employment relationship. The employment services program provided 22 adults with over 1,100 service hours in the community.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 83% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
- Distribution model
- Cannot be determined from the filing. The program-spending lines do not add up, so the filing cannot show reliably whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.
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 expenses are high relative to revenue.
