Overview
Mission
Educate, empower, and enable individuals living with spinal cord injury and disease to achieve their highest level of health and independence.
What it reported doing in 2025
United Spinal Association of Virginia utilizes wheelchair skills groups at Sheltering Arms Institute - a joint venture with VCU Health's inpatient rehab hospital, a ramp project which affords accessibility to the home for newly injured Virginians, and a peer mentoring program for people new to spinal cord injury. In addition, the Organization organizes education events on various topics important to wheelchair users and advocates for disability interests in the Commonwealth of Virginia.
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 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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
