Financials

We are proud of our record of putting your donations to work effectively.

More than 90 percent of Easter Seals’ revenue supports services in the area where funds are raised.

In the fiscal year ending August 31, 2004, Easter Seals directly served a half million children and adults with disabilities or special needs. This number nearly triples when the families of those we serve are taken into account. Services address the needs of children and adults who are disabled at birth, through injury or illness, and by the functional limitations experienced in the aging process.
