Our coverage area includes St. Charles, Lincoln, and Warren Counties. We are one of twenty-one centers in Missouri. Centers for Independent Living arose from the disability rights movement in the early 1970s. Communities were not accessible and supports to assist people with remaining in their homes did not exist. The disability rights movement led to the Rehabilitation Act of 1975 and eventually the Americans with Disabilities Act. . Connecting people to community resources through our information and referral services assisted 507 people during the last reporting year. Referrals range from financial assistance to transportation to in-home supports and health care services. There is no end to what people with disabilities will need in the way of community supports to remain independent. . Skills training, which can encompass self-advocacy, cooking, budgeting, etc. was provided to 28 people over the last year. . Peer support services connect people with disabilities with each other in order to create natural support networks of people who have common, shared experiences. Thirty-three received peer support services during the year. . Delta Center partners with the Veterans Administration by providing veteran-directed in-home services in Warren, Lincoln, and Montgomery Counties and St. Louis City in Missouri as well as a dozen counties in Illinois. This program continues to grow. Delta Center also provides the financial management service part of the program to Centers for Independent Living in other parts of the county which offer the Veteran Program. . Delta Center offers an equipment exchange program which provides durable medical equipment to people who otherwise cannot afford them. During this fiscal year, Delta Center received $36,097 worth of donated items (if they had been purchased new). We recorded those donations at an estimated fair market value when donated of $10,829. Ninety-two individuals received donated medical and adaptive equipment. . Delta Center offers an Aging in Place assessment designed to identify potential risks and barriers to someone wishing to age-in-place at home. The assessment also offers suggestions for supports and resources to mitigate risks as much as possible. . Delta Center partners with other social service agencies to address needs in the community such as affordable and accessible housing, transportation, and health care needs. . Across all programs, Delta Center provided services during the year to 801 people in fiscal year 25. 7024203 true true false true false false false false false false true false false false true true 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 false false true false false false true 5 0 19 true false false false false false false false false false false false false X 14 14 true false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false IL X X X Jim Ruedin 6369268761 3837 McClay Road Suite T St Peters MO 63376 X Austin Bender President 0.75 X X 0 0 0 David Miles Vice-President 0.75 X X 0 0 0 Donna Diehl Secretary 0.75 X X 0 0 0 Josh Salley Treasurer 0.75 X X 0 0 0 April May Director 0.75 X 0 0 0 Mitch Berry Director 0.75 X 0 0 0 John Glenn Director 0.75 X 0 0 0 Lydia Mitchell Director 0.75 X 0 0 0 Mike Bender Director 0.75 X 0 0 0 Chris Howrey Director 0.75 X 0 0 0 Courtney Labonte Director 0.75 X 0 0 0 Roy Zirges Director 0.75 X 0 0 0 Jim Howrey Director (part-year) 0.75 X 0 0 0 Jim Wallis Director 0.75 X 0 0 0 Jim Ruedin Executive director 30.00 X 0 126057 20517 0 126057 20517 1 false false false 0 54525 354549 263024 34415 10829 706513 Veteran-directed fees 900099 6959137 0 0 FMS admin. fees 900099 135860 0 0 Consulting 900099 22567 0 0 7117564 66641 0 66641 461893 382136 79757 79757 0 0 79757 7970475 7117564 0 146398 121685 59342 26007 36336 928932 893810 35122 0 70592 69086 1506 0 161899 152702 5670 3527 74655 67755 4488 2412 388 65 323 0 41521 0 41521 0 16742 0 16742 0 6314 6314 0 0 28190 667 27523 0 36537 33539 1670 1328 81655 73597 5042 3016 70401 65680 2623 2098 23688 23077 611 0 2458 970 1488 0 1894 1894 0 0 4046 4046 0 0 12055 9581 2090 384 Client assistance 24428 24428 0 0 In-kind equip. donated 10829 10829 0 0 Veteran directed payroll costs 5515653 5515653 0 0 Other 21019 11168 9781 70 7255581 7024203 182207 49171 197313 108259 395811 179752 30294 27264 1617720 1708139 93093 78399 20230 14161 10115 6069 1337706 1934791 3682052 4042673 688470 559320 0 576090 221479 1264560 780799 X 2371452 3211464 46040 50410 2417492 3261874 3682052 4042673 714894 129488 X false true X true false X 0 413827 347234 970769 849099 706513 3287442 0 0 413827 347234 970769 849099 706513 3287442 0 3287442 3 649 45252 66641 112545 0 5162 3730 8892 3408879 7117564 0.96440 0.97910 X 0 0 0 Pt II Ln 10 Other Income Part II, Line 10 Description: Honoraria Description: DCs portion of workers comp refunds 2022: 5162. 2023: 3730.

The consultant also educated legislators about the need for increased Center for Independent Living funding via the state budget process. 0 0 20230 14161 6069 6069 Due to Delta Center PAS 221479 221479 X 129488 129488 -129488 -129488 Pt X, Line 2 Delta Center is exempt from federal income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and applicable state law, except on net income derived from unrelated business activities as defined by the Internal Revenue Code. Therefore, there are no provisions for income taxes reflected in these financial statements. Management does not believe there are any uncertain tax positions as of June 30, 2025 and 2024. Pt VI, Line 2 Board member Mike Bender and the President, Austin Bender, have a family relationship as do Chris and Jim Howrey. Pt VI, Line 11b The draft of the Form 990 was emailed to all board and finance committee members for their questions, comments, and changes. Any changes were forwarded to the 990 preparer and the 990 revised. It was then provided for review again before filing with the IRS. Pt VI, Line 12c The policy calls for board members and the executive director to review, discuss, and sign their individual conflict of interest statement annually. The executive director maintains the signed documents. In the event of a potential conflict of interest of a board member or the executive director, the individual involved would recuse him/herself from the discussion. The other board members would then discuss the potential conflict and, if warranted, determine a course of action. Pt VI, Line 19 Delta Centers governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements are available to the public upon request. Pt VII, Col (F) and col. E - The W-2 number represents the calendar 2024 salary paid to the executive director by the related organization noted in Sch. R, Part II. The amount in column F represents the health insurance and retirement paid by the related organization. The executive directors personnel costs allocated to this organization for the fiscal year are reported in Part IX, line 5, and are based on an estimate of time spent on this organizations activities. Other The finance committee, which meets on a regular basis, is responsible for selecting the auditing firm, overseeing the audit process, reviewing the audited statements when they are completed, and recommending their approval to the board of directors. Other Pt. IX, Column D - As in prior years, there is a minimal amount of expense allocated to fundraising since the main funding sources are a renewing grant with a department of the State of Missouri and renewing contracts with FMS clients and the Veterans Administration . There will be more fundraising expenses in subsequent years as the development of other fundraising sources are pursued. Other Pt. I, line 5 and Pt. V, question 2a - The total number of W-2s for staff issued by Delta Center PAS in 2024, the related organization, was 26. As noted in Schedule R, all salaries and wages of employees are shared between the two organizations. The number 19 in these boxes represents the estimated FTEs of staff time spent on this organizations activities. The other 7 FTEs are reported in these boxes on the 990 of Delta Center PAS. Pt III, Line 2 As noted in Pt. III, Delta Center provided financial management services (FMS) to tax-exempt organizations in Missouri and several states by processing payroll, tax, and payments for non-employee goods and services. All services were paid and subsequently billed dollar-for-dollar to the other entities. The amounts paid by Delta Center and subsequently billed to the organizations for which we provide FMS services are considered agency transactions for accounting purposes and are not included in the revenue (Pt. VIII) and expenses (Pt. IX). Delta Center receives administrative fees for the FMS services which are reported in Pt. VIII, line 2. Delta Center also provided similar services to the Veterans Administration. Since the veterans in the program are eligible for all of Delta Centers support services, the revenue and expenses are not considered agency transactions so are included in revenue in Pt. VIII and expenses in Pt. IX. Other The number of employees listed on Pt. V, line 2a, as noted in another comment in Schedule O, represents the portion of Delta Centers shared staff full-time equivalents paid by the related organization, Delta Center PAS (PAS) but who worked on Delta Center CILs (CIL) programs. All of the shared staffs W-2s are filed using PAS Federal ID number (FEIN). CIL acts as a payroll fiscal agent for its clients in the Veterans Independence Program (VIP). It files quarterly 941s and related W-2s for clients attendants wages and taxes using CILs Federal ID number 43-1752410. For 2024 CIL filed 398 W-2s using its FEIN for clients attendants in the VIP program. CIL also acts as a payroll fiscal agent for its FMS (Financial Management Services) clients attendants wages and taxes but uses a different CIL FEIN, 86-2213939. For 2024, CIL filed 316 W-2s for FMS clients attendants using this second FEIN. Since the attendants who work for the VIP and FMS clients are not involved in any of Delta Centers activities, their W-2s are not included in the number on Pt. V, line 2a. Pt VI, Line 15a In April 2023, Delta Center purchased compensation reviews for all positions. Salaries for all staff, with the exception of the Executive Director, were adjusted so that the combination of salary and benefits was at least at the 75th percentile of similarly-sized non-profits in the area. Pt VI, Line 15b The compensation review for the Executive Director is provided by the Boards executive committee which reviews performance yearly and determines how to adjust the compensation for that position. Pt VI, Line 18 The organizations 990s and other information are included on the Candid (formerly Guidestar) website.
