What Rcs Learning Center Inc does
Mission
To provide the highest quality of individualized behavioral and educational services for children with autism spectrum disorder and other developmental disabilities.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Rcs learning center's intensive day program services students ages 7-22 by providing a 1:1 staff to student ratio learning environment. Students enrolled in the program require intensive 1:1 support in order to learn academics, leisure and social skills, functional life skills, and vocational skills. Applied behavior analysis (aba) is the major treatment methodology applied in this program. The primary objective of the program is to allow the student to successfully transition into a less restrictive environment where they will continue to acquire skills without the need for 1:1 support. Rcs aligns academic curriculum with the massachusetts curriculum framework. Additionally, functional behavior assessments (fba's) are conducted and behavior plans are implemented as part of the treatment and curriculum.
$2,838,783 spent$3,248,106 earned by the program75% of program spendingOnce a student demonstrates the ability to learn and excel in a 1:1 teaching environment, he or she may be an appropriate candidate for rcs's day education program. This program's structure and philosophy is similar to the above mentioned intensive day program, but utilizes a 1:2 staff to student ratio. Students in this program are paired with another student who shares a similar learning level and style. Social skills are directly addressed within all setiings and these students may work together on academic and/or vocational skills. The focus of this program is to help students develop the skills necessary to be successful in a less restrictive learning environment and, when possible, transition back to their home school district.

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 2019 to 2020, from $2.2M to $3.3M (+49%).
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: 2021 7% · 2022 24% · 2023 17%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
2% of RCS LEARNING CENTER INC’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (48% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 4 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2020 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 2 funders, grant income rose $163 → $45k.
3 of 5 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 79% 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 RCS LEARNING CENTER 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
RCS LEARNING CENTER INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 59% of grant income and the top three 89%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
89% 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 RCS LEARNING CENTER INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 100% · 2021 52% · 2022 66% · 2023 100% — broadly stable.
“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.
Where its funders are
79% of RCS LEARNING CENTER INC's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $20k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from Massachusetts funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $74k 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.
