What Center for Developmental Disabilities does
Mission
The center's mission is to help children and adults with differing abilities achieve their dreams by overcoming barriers to living, working, learning & enjoying recreational opportunities in the community of their choice.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
The center's adult residential program also consists of 17 supervised individualized residential alternatives (iras) and 4 supportive iras which are a type of community residence that provides room, board and individualized service options. Supervised iras provide 24-hour staff support and supervision for up to 14 residents, whereas supportive iras are limited to 3 or fewer individuals and provide need-based supports and services for those who are living in their own houses or apartments, but do not require 24-hour supervision. Day services are also available for individuals living in iras and may include day habilitation, prevocational services and supported employment. Depending on the individual's skill level, some may be competitively employed.

Students are referred to the program through their home school district when their iep goals and educational needs cannot be met in their current placements. We presently serve students living in nassau and suffolk counties as well as new york city. Classrooms have staffing ratios of either 6:1:2 or 9:1:3. Our goal is to provide quality educational programming in order to increase every student's level of independence so he or she is able to participate more effectively in the community. The classroom curriculum covers academic subjects such as english language arts, mathematics, science and social studies, while also fostering the development of each student's daily living skills and social skills. Students receive direct instruction in each area and are provided with opportunities to demonstrate their skills in real and simulated situations.

Intermediate care facilities our intermediate care facilities are the center's larger residential facilities, with 8-12 people with developmental and intellectual disabilities living in a co-ed private home in diverse communities in nassau county. These homes are staffed 24 hours a day, and generally have a full-time house manager and assistant house manager assigned for oversight and day-to-day operational purposes. The center strives to make each residence a true, home-like environment while actively providing programming to each person on an individualized basis. The treatment team approach is used to assess a person's capabilities and needs for medical and clinical areas, as well as independent living, and community integration skills. Goals are developed to assist each person in achieving the maximum level of independence possible, which, in turn, may help the person be able to move to a less-restrictive environment in the future.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2022 to 2023, from $29M to $34M (+16%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2017 1% · 2018 2% · 2019 2% · 2020 6% · 2021 6% · 2022 20% · 2023 2% · 2024 5%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
5% of CENTER FOR DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (21% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base narrowed from 4 funders to 3 funders, grant income rose $2k → $73k.
3 of 12 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 32% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
Left out of every figure on this page: $30k from 2 payers (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Independent Group Home Living Foundation Inc). These are real filings, and they are not money CENTER FOR DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES raised.
From the IRS filings of CENTER FOR DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How concentrated its funding is
CENTER FOR DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES leans on a few funders — its largest provides 44% of grant income and the top three 85%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
32% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund CENTER FOR DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 43% · 2018 48% · 2019 64% · 2020 48% · 2021 73% · 2022 65% · 2023 52% — growing more concentrated.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How long its funders stay
57% of CENTER FOR DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 58% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
99% of CENTER FOR DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES's grant income comes from New York funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $85k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.

CENTER FOR DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES has grown faster than half of the 3,289 human services nonprofits its size.
