Overview

Mission

1hope builds relationships with local people and their communities. We facilitate coming together to discover, connect, and mobilize the assets required to empower, unify, and strengthen our community.

What it reported doing in 2024

Fostering foster families play an essential role in caring for foster children by giving them a place to live temporarily while they cannot live at home. Being a foster parent can be challenging and demanding. It requires love, patience and strong parenting skills. Supporting and encouraging these famillies and helping these children grow, learn and love with security is something each of us can play a role in. From dropping off meals and sending notes of encouragement to mentoring foster youth, there are many ways to contribute.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
