As a nonprofit organization, we practice fiscal responsibility to reduce operational costs and service fees. Important to our operations is fiscal responsibility, accountability, and transparency. 

Fiscal Vision

▪ Render advocacy services for children with special needs at reduced or no cost* to families. 

Fiscal Mission

▪ Obtain donations and grants to offset or waive service fees for families. 

Fiscal Goals

▪ Practice strict fiscal responsibility to reduce service costs for families.

▪ Raise awareness and funds to sponsor services for children in need. 

▪ Demonstrate accountability with detailed records and receipts.

▪ Model transparency in accounting and reporting.

*Donations are used to offset standard service fees for families in need. Fee waivers, reductions, and reimbursement plans are subject to available funds from donations at the time of service and may vary based on successful fundraising efforts.

Fiscal Strategies

▪ Employ volunteers to the extent possible. Currently, 85% of services from directors, officers, and advisors are provided on a volunteer basis.

▪ Exercise alternatives to a physical office space (virtual meetings, home visits, phone, email) to alleviate lease and overhead costs and increase convenience for families. 

▪ Pursue donations on an ongoing basis. Provide IRS compliant tax-deductible receipts to donors.

▪ Apply the reimbursement plan formula annually offering families a partial or full reimbursement of service fees when total donations have not been fully expended at the end of a fiscal year.  

▪ Utilize software for detailed time-keeping and records and reporting of services and fees.

▪ Maintain accurate financial records of revenue and expenses and publish annual reports of operations and financial conditions to the Board of Directors, advisors, stakeholders and in compliance with state and federal regulations for nonprofit charities.
