Overview
Mission
To educate children and their families, adults with intellectual disabilities, and communities through creativity and opportunities.
What it reported doing in 2024
Community engagement - the community engagement department strengthens how our programs connect with the people we serve and focuses on building relationships and promoting our services within the communities we serve. We prioritize filling service gaps within the community, provide parents, young children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities educational opportunities, act as a resource hub and provide opportunities for connections, space for activities, while fostering a sense of belonging.
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
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.
