What it reported doing in 2024
Guardianship services - ursuline originally established its guardianship program through a contract with the allegheny county area agency on aging (aaa). This program primarily serves low-income persons who are 60+ in age and meet the aaa criteria for service. Today, ursuline is the only agency in allegheny county contracted to provide such services for this segment of the population. As part of the county contract, ursuline maintains a contract with kane regional nursing centers to provide services to appropriate residents in thier facilities.in addition to this county-contracted activity, ursuline provides guardianship services to both indigent wards and those with large estates who reside inside and outside allegheny county. These services are provided through ursuline's private (fee for service) guardianship program to individuals residing in more than 15 counties throughout the western Pennsylvania area, the largest concentration of those residing in cambria county. Services are also provided to wards and other disabled persons through ursuline's special needs trust. Ursuline provides these services to 181 wards located inside and outside of allegheny county.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Grant-funded. 78% 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
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Revenue has declined or grown slowly and expenses are high relative to revenue.
