Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

What is the organization aiming to accomplish?

Provide a real-world work experience for individuals on the autism spectrum. Discover and promote the untapped potential that many individuals with autism posses.

What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?

Provide interns with opportunities to excel through initial one-on-one instruction and followed by independent work. Interns are exposed to customer service, retail duties and teamwork. Additional social opportunities are available through trips into the community such as banks, post offices and restaurants.

What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?

The program director has 15 years as a special education teacher. One of her main goals was to ensure that the high school students transition goals were met or exceed to provide the opportunity to success post high school. The program director and retail manager took entrepreneur and business courses through Washington University.

What have they accomplished so far and what's next?

Visions of Hope has successfully graduated 24 interns over the past 12 months. 6 interns have gained employment or additional volunteer positions depending on their abilities and desires. We are continuing to work with numerous other interns to help them locate employment. We refer interns to local agencies if we are unable to assist with the job development phase.

Balance sheet

Fiscal Year: Jul 01 - Jun 30

SOURCE: IRS Form 990

The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.
