Financial health
We do not score finances when yearly spending is very small or the return has too little detail. The ratios stop meaning much at that size.

Governance
This organization files the short tax form, which does not ask about boards, policies or audits. That is normal for a small charity and is not a mark against it.

- $12,217 spent. We are very proud of the work that we completed in 2024 to help individuals with developmental disabilities grow in the areas of life skills, social skills, functional academics, communication, and so much more! We took individuals into the community to help facilitate them being accepted, included, contributing members of society. The adults we serve have been able, throughout this year, to make meaningful and engaging connections with friends and community members, which would not have been possible without the knowledge, experience, and resources of our volunteers. We are working to help individuals meet personal goals for lifelong learning as well as dreams. This year, we got a little more into making art in order to express ourselves and we were intentional about helping our friends get into nature in various places and forms, putting a focus on mental as well as physical health. We also began the process of creating a beautiful outdoor space for the individuals that we serve to enjoy, which includes an accessible picnic table, bench, and wheelchair swing. Our passion for giving adults with disabilities a voice has lead us to finding various communication outlets for those we serve, to include using iPads with communication software, picture cards, predictive text software, and letterboards for expressing themselves. It is important to us that every individual who comes through our doors is able to state, not just their wants and needs, but their feelings, their desires, their dreams, their thoughts. Number served: In the 2024 calendar year, we served thirteen individuals.
