Overview

Mission

We sow seeds in our own backyard: We cultivate change and healing that transforms communities to move from surviving to thriving.

What it reported doing in 2025

Social Justice Initiatives: Through our STAR (Success Through Alternative Routes) Program, we successfully housed one of our participants and enrolled him in a certified apprenticeship program. This initiative demontrates our commitment to addressing systemic inequities by providing tangible pathways to employment, stability and empowerment for justice-impacted individuals. We have engaged and supported over 20 individuals through social justice programs and initiatives. Additionally, we have collaborated with 6 organizations and their participants to provide a broader reach through coalition building efforts. Mental Wellness Initiatives: We increased access to licensed clinicians throughour community partnerships and reduced mental health stigma by normalizing conversations about emotional well-being in group and one-on-one settings. We provided culturally relevant tools and education to support parents in raising emotionally resilient children.

Operating model

Revenue model
Grant-funded. 86% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
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

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of voting board members are independent and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
