Mission and programs · 2024
Mission
Disability Rights Maryland (DRM) is the only non-profit organization exclusively focused on providing free legal advocacy services to people with all types of disabilities, of all ages and in all settings, statewide.
Activities or mission (Part I)
DRM advances the human and legal rights of people with disabilities, helping secure their opportunities to participate fully in community life, and defending their rights to self-determination, dignity, and equality.
-
DRM defends the rights of people with disabilities to be free from abuse and neglect, and to have self-determination, dignity, equality, choice, and access. As a result of DRMs work, students with disabilities are more fully included in schools; people with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities have access to home-based care that prevents institutionalization; renters with disabilities are protected from eviction and receive reasonable modifications to their homes; people with disabilities on Medicaid have healthcare coverage; and people with psychiatric disabilities receive services in safer environments free of coercion. DRM continues to advocate for improved transportation and accessibility for people with physical disabilities, for safer and more humane treatment of incarcerated people with disabilities; and for children with disabilities in the foster care system to have safe community placements and appropriate services and healthcare. DRM also provides trainings to inform people of their rights and to empower their self-advocacy skills.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
