Impact evidence

Describes programs. Its tax return describes what it does but we have found no measurable results in it.

Programs described in its return (1)
  1. $1.3 million spent. Kefi Care Programs has continued to grow and flourish as an agency. During the year 2025, we were able to add approximately 10 more clients to our roster. We also increased our management positions and provided several senior employees with the opportunity to seek promotions. During the 2025 fiscal year we are working on launching an extended "Explorer's" program, which supports clients going on community integrated outings in the community that are longer and more robust than our current outing system. We are also exploring the option of offereing a 401K retirement plan to our employees compensation package. All in all, Kefi Care Programs continues to thrive and provide excellent care to our clients.
