Overview

Mission

Point Rider, Inc. works with families and organizations to develop housing for adults with intellectual or development disabilities through pro bono consulting and referrals, and paid project management services.

What it reported doing in 2020

Worked with 12 start-up groups, representing approximately 100 families, providing pro bono consultation to help them create new residential communities for adults with intellectual disabilities such as Down syndrome and autism. Most in-person meetings, presentations and workshops were made impossible early in 2020 by Covid-19 shut-downs and restrictions. Provided pro bono consultations on development/fundraising for two non-profits (RM & BHC), helping them raise over $100,000 combined for their organizations. Successfully provided research and advocacy, gaining relief for families being threatened with $150 to $400 a day bed hold fees during the Covid crisis.

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 99% 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.
