We aim to educate to integrate adults with developmental disabilities by facilitating meaningful, productive, and integrated opportunities. We work with the local community and businesses to educate them on how to engage in customized employment for our Crew. false false 190273 21572 Daily Art Studio Our daily work studio consists of our pottery and art program. This allows adults with developmental disabilities (our Crew) to have an outlet for creativity and to learn job skills by making and selling pottery. We assess individuals' skills and interests in the studio and create modifications for future employment opportunities. We offer year round programming. Music Program Our music program offers a variety of opportunities for some of our Crew to express themselves through music and movement. Many of our Crew have special interests in music and dance and music therapy has proven benefits for improving focus, communication, and self-determination. This program works on empowering our Crew to express themselves to find their voice, providing important tools for them to identify with our Athens community. We also have an all-abilities band, The Love.Craft Band who performs in the community multiple times each year. Customized Employment We facilitate customized community opportunities for our Crew. These integrated opportunities include paid employment, volunteering, or assisting them with being an entrepreneur. We offer support to supervisors to ensure successful employment placements. Transportation Providing Access: Transportation is one of the biggest barriers this population faces and we alleviate this barrier through providing transportation for those who need it. The lack of reliable transportation restricts opportunities that this population has access to. We provide transportation for our Crew to and from our studio as well as to and from their community placements. We use Wheels of Hope, a service that provides transportation to individuals who are visually impaired, disabled, or no longer to drive for various reasons. 190273 true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false 12 0 true 3 true false false false false false false false false false false false false 7 7 false false false false false false false true true false false true false false false false false false GA X ELD ASSOCIATES LLC 4237565213 832 GEORGIA AVENUE SUITE 400 Chattanooga TN 37402 Alexis Zabetakis Secretary 3.0 X X 0 0 0 Dan Herron Treasurer 3.0 X X 0 0 0 Katherine Ostenson Board Chair 3.0 X X 0 0 0 Brianna Guess Board Member 2.0 X 0 0 0 Catherine Guack Board Member 2.0 X 0 0 0 Erin O'Connell Board Member 2.0 X 0 0 0 Lisa Burnsed Board Member 2.0 X 0 0 0 Susan Fontaine President 30.0 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 false false false 0 3000 173726 176726 0 0 0 0 0 11 11 7000 7000 0 7000 7000 0 0 15812 3000 2327 13485 13485 17691 3119 14572 14572 0 0 0 0 0 211794 21572 0 13496 X 99149 99149 8480 8480 4450 4450 38617 28617 10000 0 1282 1282 10542 10542 32450 32450 15670 15670 3487 3487 Music Program Expense 109 109 Event Expense 4516 4516 0 0 0 0 218752 190273 28479 0 19221 12257 0 0 0 2146 2321 0 0 0 0 0 350 350 21717 14928 543 413 0 0 0 543 413 21174 14515 21174 14515 21717 14928 -6958 299 0 X false false false X 7991 52260 113459 188538 176364 538612 0 0 7991 52260 113459 188538 176364 538612 187550 351062 0 5 7 7 11 30 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 538642 104004 0.6518 0.6023 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Finding Purpose Film Premiere 9400 2500 6900 Look What I Can Do! 9412 500 8912 2020 275 32 0 18812 3000 15812 2020 275 32 2327 13485 Form 990, Part IX, Line 11g Other Fees Contract Services - Total Expense: 27119, Program Service Expense: 27119, Management and General Expenses: , Fundraising Expenses: ; Payroll Fees - Total Expense: 1498, Program Service Expense: 1498, Management and General Expenses: , Fundraising Expenses: ; Administrative Fees - Total Expense: 10000, Program Service Expense: , Management and General Expenses: 10000, Fundraising Expenses: ; Form 990, Part VI, Line 11b A copy of the return is provided to the board for review prior to filing with the IRS.
