Delta Projects

What Delta Projects does

Delta Projects, Inc. is a Massachusetts-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit human services organization founded in 1976 and headquartered in Dedham. It supports adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, traumatic and acquired brain injuries, and other developmental challenges through a portfolio of programs including 24/7 Residential Services delivered in 40+ group homes of 2–5 individuals, Community-Based Day Supports (CBDS), Supported Employment, Intensive Flexible Family Support (IFFS), an Intensive Respite Program for crisis stabilization, and In-Home Supports. The organization also serves families of children with developmental disabilities, with the goal of preventing out-of-home placement. Delta Projects employs 300+ staff and serves individuals across 20+ communities in Southeastern Massachusetts.

The organization's business model is overwhelmingly funded through contracts with the Massachusetts Department of Developmental Services (MA DDS), the sole government payer for its core residential, day, employment, family support, and respite services. A secondary revenue stream comes from tax-deductible charitable donations processed through secure online platforms, used primarily to underwrite quality-of-life initiatives rather than core operations. Delta Projects does not develop or rely on proprietary technology platforms; service delivery is direct, in-person, and clinical-staff-driven, with differentiation grounded in 40+ years of operating history, person-centered care philosophy, clinical expertise (behaviorists, nurses), and deep community partnerships across employers, cultural institutions, service organizations, and advocacy bodies.

Distribution is exclusively direct-to-government under state-administered programs, with no traditional sales motion or public pricing. Go-to-market relies on MA DDS referrals and self/family-initiated outreach, supplemented by advocacy engagement and a published career page indicating active hiring. The organization maintains a grassroots marketing presence through community newsletters, the Delta Hornets Unified Sports program, and self-advocacy initiatives, but does not engage in commercial marketing channels.
