Overview

Mission

See schedule o

What it reported doing in 2019

Provide administration and consulting experts for the collection and dissemination of information concerning disability programs and policy at the local, state, and national levels. Analyze state and federal budget issues and facilitate various collaborative and coalition building efforts in the disability community.

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 revenue has declined or grown slowly.
