Mission and programs · 2022

• COA'S MAIN PROGRAM IS THE ACCREDITATION OF HUMAN AND SOCIAL SERVICES AGENCIES. ALTHOUGH THE NATURE OF THE SERVICES PROVIDED BY THESE AGENCIES MAY VARY, EACH IS REQUIRED TO DEMONSTRATE IMPLEMENTATION OF A SERIES OF ADMINISTRATION, MANAGEMENT AND SERVICE DELIVERY STANDARDS. COA ACCREDITS NEARLY 1,600 PUBLIC AND PRIVATE AGENCIES AND ESTIMATES THAT THESE AGENCIES IN TURN SERVE APPROXIMATELY 7 MILLION INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES EACH YEAR. THE IMPACT OF THE ACCREDITATION PROCESS CAN BE DEMONSTRATED IN THE HEIGHTENED QUALITY OF THE SERVICES THESE AGENCIES PROVIDE AS WELL AS IN THEIR ABILITY TO IMPLEMENT AND CONSISTENTLY ADHERE TO SOUND GOVERNANCE, FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT, RISK PREVENTION MANAGEMENT, PERFORMANCE QUALITY IMPROVEMENT AND HUMAN RESOURCE PROCESSES. WITH THE ONSET OF COVID-19, COA RAPIDLY SHIFTED TO VIRTUAL ACCREDITATION OPERATIONS AND TRAINING TO SUPPORT ORGANIZATIONS AND ENSURE THE HEALTH, SAFETY AND WELL-BEING OF ALL STAFF AND VOLUNTEERS. THE PROCESS TO TRANSITION WAS ESSENTIALLY SEAMLESS AND ORGANIZATIONS DID NOT EXPERIENCE A DISRUPTION IN THEIR ACCREDITATION PROCESS. USING LESSONS LEARNED FROM THE EXPERIENCE IN 2021, IN 2022 COA RETURNED TO ONSITE REVIEWS WHILE CONTINUING TO MAXIMIZE THE USE OF TECHNOLOGY WHEN APPROPRIATE TO ALLOW FOR A MORE EFFICIENT AND LESS BURDENSOME PROCESS. THE COA TEAM ALSO CONTINUED ACCREDITATION OPERATIONS WHILE WORKING WITH OTHERS IN THE ORGANIZATION TO CONSIDER NEW SERVICES AND OFFERINGS FOR THE NEW ORGANIZATION THAT WILL RESULT ONCE THE MERGER WITH THE ALLIANCE FOR STRONG FAMILIES AND COMMUNITIES, INC. IS FINALIZED AND APPROVED.COA ACCREDITED 64 ORGANIZATIONS UNDER ITS 8TH EDITION STANDARDS, 2 ORGANIZATIONS UNDER ITS PUBLIC STANDARDS AND 23 ORGANIZATIONS UNDER ITS CHILD AND YOUTH DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS. COA CONDUCTED 111 SITE VISITS INCLUDING 76 8TH EDITION REVIEWS, 2 PUBLIC REVIEWS, 32 CHILD AND YOUTH DEVELOPMENT REVIEWS AND 1 MILITARY REVIEW.

As filed on the 2022 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here.

Officers and directors · 2022

As listed in Part VII of the 2022 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

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. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Grants received

No itemized grant names this organization as a recipient. Only grants over $5,000 are itemized, and only by filers of the full Form 990.

Related organizations

From Schedule R Part II, where a filer lists the tax-exempt organizations it is related to by control. It does not record shared board members or money.
