Supporting people with disabilities for over 40 years

Multi Community Diversified Services (MCDS) enrolled with First Nonprofit in 2007. During the first year, alone, they saved more than $20,000 over paying state unemployment taxes (SUTA). Since then, they have successfully utilized two of First Nonprofit Group’s specialized unemployment risk management solutions for additional savings.

Located in McPherson, Kansas, MCDS first began serving people with disabilities in 1972. Initially providing only a half day preschool program for six students, today MCDS provides a wide range of services, including residential services, case management, transportation, an intermediate care facility, and children services touching hundreds of families. MCDS host a number of annual events such as their Poker Run and Teams for Dreams Softball Tournament that support their mission of promoting community inclusion and employment opportunities for people with disabilities.

Through its McPherson Industries programs, MCDS also introduces persons with disabilities to rewarding, enriching and satisfying work experiences. This industrial facility with fork lift, loading docks and short term warehousing, provides a work force for all packaging, production and shipping needs.

We look forward to continued success with MCDS! For more information about their services, visit their website: www.mcds-ks.org.

Testimonials

We first started using First Nonprofit’s Unemployment Savings Program when we were a small startup nonprofit.  We didn’t have an HR department and needed expertise in the event that an unemployment claim was made.  We knew we were eligible to be a reimbursing employer, but weren’t sure how to navigate that process.  They made it easy to set things up, plan for, and then manage claims when they came at a very reasonable cost. The amount of time and stress they’ve saved us dealing with all this has been worth way more than the cost.  We’ve now grown to a large nonprofit and do have an HR department but have no plans to stop using their services.  I highly recommend them to every nonprofit I come into contact with!

Because INCS advocates for the operating conditions that allow charter public schools to provide high quality public education, partnering with First Nonprofit was an easy decision. First Nonprofit’s unemployment programs provide our member schools two operating elements crucial to their ability to provide high quality public education: savings and budget certainty. Capable, committed teachers are the key to student success. By participating in the unemployment insurance savings plan, charter public schools gain peace of mind and are able to invest more money in their teachers.
