What Montana Council on Developmental Disabilities does
Mission
To educate and support organizations providing services to the developmentally disabled community.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
The organization's mission is to empower individuals with developmental disabilities and their families through knowledge and understanding to lead a full life in their community. The Council is made up of Montanans both with and without developmental disabilities, who believe in improving the lives of Montana's citizens who have a disability. We concentrate on issues related to self-determination, education, employment, transportation, housing, recreation, health care, community inclusion and the overall quality of life of people with developmental disabilities. We facilitate statewide improvements initiatives, training, and information dissemination among common stakeholders, advocate for regulation design that incorporates the lived experiences of people with disabilities, and leverage opportunities to discover and promote creative ways that families, service agencies and federal, state, local and tribal governments can help people with disabilities to live more independent, fulfilling lives.

The program described on its FY2024 Form 990. Program spending in total: $410,501.
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 2024 to 2025, from $475k to $18k (−96%).
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 100% · 2018 100% · 2019 100% · 2020 100% · 2024 100% · 2025 96%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
100% of Montana Council on Developmental Disabilities’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (91% for the typical peer).
