Overview

Mission

To provide a place where people with intellectual disabilities are nurtured and valued, a place where they will be engaged in all aspects of their lives, learning and working alongside lifelong friends, family and members of the community.

What it reported doing in 2025

The Village Community is a non-profit organization, founded in 2013 by parents of adult children with intellectual disabilities, with the purpose of providing high-quality, engaging experiences to our members so that they can continue to live happy, healthy, productive lives. We have a commitment to building relationships with members, member families, staff, and the broader community. We have been recognized as a thought leader and continue to provide consultation to stakeholders and community partners on our model of service provision that has significantly less overhead and administrative costs than other similar service providers. This has translated over time to low staff turnover and a more positive member experience. Since our inception, we have earned the highest certification level possible through CARF International (Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities) for our day habilitation program. We have a stable and thriving day habilitation program and a residential program that has experienced growth and is now serving individuals with intense, challenging behaviors. We recognize that our staff are our most valuable asset and we remain committed to ensuring they are offered competitive wages and benefits. We are striving for stability in this time of uncertainty with Medicaid funding and statewide program restructuring. Reserve funds are available should they be needed as a bridge if funding cuts are realized.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 95% of the money available for current operations came from other operating revenue.
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.
