Overview

Mission

The organization provides job training programs and other services for developmentally disabled

What it reported doing in 2019

Pre-vocational training program (pre-voc). Pre-voc services offer support and training to individuals to prepare them for employment. The services are not vocational in nature, but rather focus on those things needed before employment. These includes following directions, work attitude and habits, adjusting to workplace demands, communication and social skills necessary for success in a workplace environment.

Operating model

Revenue model
Grant-funded. 93% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
