Overview

Mission

Fundraising to assist organizations that provide services to persons with development disabilities in Beaufort County SC

What it reported doing in 2025

Bright Beginnings - An early intervention program offered within the home or in a day care setting to families with children from birth to five years who are developmentally delayed. This program provides service coordination and family training that address a child's development, including language and communication, cognition, fine and gross motor, social-emotional and self help skills.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 63% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
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 total spending goes to programs and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
