Overview
Mission
The Arc Wayne, a parent-based organization, advocates for and serves persons of all ages with or without special needs. The agency assists individuals in taking their full, independent, productive place in society through an array of quality, individualized services.

Other program services include the Article 16 clinic, Family Support services, and respite and community habilitation. These programs provide support and services to individuals of all ages and all abilities. Participants served - approximately 1200.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 91% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program 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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
