Mission

Family ACCESS is a community-based non-profit organization that empowers and strengthens families through a set of three integrated programs: The Early Learning Center, Early Literacy Services, and Counseling and Consultation Services. For over 115 years, the organization has served thousands of families from Newton and neighboring towns, regardless of their economic status. The word ACCESS is an acronym of the phrase A Center for Comprehensive Education and Support Services, a phrase that clearly defines the organizations work in the community. Formerly known as Newton Community Service Center, our new name, specifically the word ACCESS, describes the impact of that work.

Balance sheet

Fiscal Year: Jul 01 - Jun 30

SOURCE: IRS Form 990 info

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.
