01What it does

What Disability Services Inc does

Mission

The mission of disability services, inc dba envida, is to promote access and support independent living with dignity, for older adults, those with disabilities, and low income individuals, by providing transportation and home services in el paso and teller counties.

As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.

Programs

  1. Envida's transportation program seeks to expand access, remove transportation barriers, and facilitate community participation.

Our most common trip purposes were for adult day programs (46%), medical (27%), work (9%), dialysis (7%), behavioral health (2%), and all other (8%). Envida's core transportation services continue to center on specialized transportation within colorado springs. Fixed route services are also provided for calhan, yoder, rush, and ellicot to colorado springs via highway 24 and the highway 94 corridor.

Envida's homecare services are provided primarily in el paso and teller counties but have expanded into the surrounding pueblo, fremont and park counties, while being integrated with envida's transportation under medicaid's non-emergent medical transportation (nemt).

02The organization over time

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.

03Who funds it

Who funds it, year by year

2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 3 funders, grant income rose $60k → $61k.

3 of 13 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 5% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

From the IRS filings of DISABILITY SERVICES INC’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

DISABILITY SERVICES INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 65% of grant income and the top three 85%; half comes from just 1 funder.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left

93% 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 DISABILITY SERVICES INC.

“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration.

29% of DISABILITY SERVICES INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 62% give in more than one year at all.

first grant+1y+2y+3y+4y

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.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $48k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 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.
