Warren County Pathfinders

What Warren County Pathfinders does

Warren County Pathfinders (WCP) is a Missouri-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 1986 (originally as Warren County Handicapped Services, rebranded in July 2022) that delivers community, residential, and support services to individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) in Warren County and surrounding Missouri counties. WCP operates a portfolio of eleven programs organized into seven product lines: two adult day programs (Choices Day Program and Journey'z Day Program, the latter launched in Truesdale in Fall 2023), a Residential Program anchored by three Individualized Supported Living (ISL) homes, an Employment Program providing supported employment and job coaching, Community Services (Host Homes and In-Home Personal Assistant support), a Social Recreation Program including Special Olympics and youth camps, and Medicaid Waiver-funded Transportation Services. The organization serves roughly 76 Special Olympics athletes plus additional day-program, residential, employment, and in-home participants, and is staffed by approximately 20+ named program coordinators, managers, and specialists under Co-CEOs Kelli Clodfelter and Katie Taylor.

WCP's revenue model is dominated by government-administered funding streams — primarily Medicaid Waivers, Missouri Department of Mental Health appropriations (which fund the Residential Program), and the Senate Bill 40 tax levy administered through the local SB40 Board — with secondary income from donations processed through the Bloomerang platform and event-based fundraising (annual Golf Tournament at $125/person and Gala at $100/person, plus tiered sponsorships from $100 to $5,000). Participant referrals flow through Regional Office Service Coordinators and Targeted Case Management, and the organization maintains core partnerships with the Warren County Board of Developmental Disabilities, Special Olympics Missouri, and Warren County School District R-III.

The organization's technology footprint is minimal and consumer-grade: no proprietary platform, no mobile app, no public API, and integrations limited to Bloomerang for donations and standard calendar feeds (Google Calendar, iCalendar, Outlook 365/Live) for events. Operating assets consist of three physical sites — the headquarters at 26321 Dry Fork Rd in Warrenton, the Journey'z Day Program and Marylou Community Building in Truesdale — a fleet of 15-passenger vans, minivans, and buses, and the three ISL homes. No revenue, headcount, or budget figures are disclosed; Form 990 filings for 2023 and 2021 are referenced but not surfaced.
