It reported gifts to 1 qualified donee totalling $2.8M in 2024, the largest being $2.8M to Project AIM Programs. Revenue has grown substantially over its filings on record here, from $8.9M in 2020 to $15.4M in 2024. Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 11 names.
In its own words
The charity maintained and operated a full time program to teach life skills to developmentally and physically challenged children. This was achieved through the operation of a special education institution which incorporated the necessary facilities to service the needs of these children.
