What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?

We continue to improve and work on the quality of the programs that we are providing. We are now retaining staff and knowledge which allows us to focus on the work and clients- not rebuilding our staff and retraining. We have created policies and procedures so that each department and staff member knows what is expected, what the regulations are and resources available.

Balance sheet

Fiscal Year: Jan 01 - Dec 31

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.
