Witnessing the suffering of someone in a county-run institution, our founder, the Rev. K.G. William Dahl, lamented: Is there no place for people like this to be treated with respect and dignity? His lament led to inspiration, and inspiration led to action: he founded the organization that became Mosaic. We follow in his footsteps, always seeking to find a better way to support and respect people.

Social justice is empowerment because people exercise the rights they hold—both as a citizen and as a child of God. It is a road to full inclusion, and it involves both micro and macro steps. 

On the micro level, empowerment is about the good things that happen in the lives of the people we support every day. That looks different for each person, and through personalization, our goal is to help people spend their days the way they choose. On the macro level, empowerment is about ensuring Mosaic is financially sustainable for the future and continuing our state and federal advocacy to strengthen and protect the services people with intellectual and developmental disabilities need and deserve.

This impact report shares a number of milestones along that road, successes we accomplished during Fiscal Year 2022 (July 1, 2021–June 30, 2022). The story is still incomplete—there’s a long way to go. In fact, some of the information you’ll see is an update to show our ongoing progress in areas like personalized services and quality.

This impact report also presents our financial report from Fiscal Year 2022. The focus of our operations team to ensure high-quality, personalized services and the COVID-19 funding together created the best fiscal report we’ve ever shared. I’m proud of the whole team for their work.

I’m happy to share this impact report with you!

Sincerely,

Linda Timmons, Mosaic President and CEO
