Overview

Mission

To provide clothing, food, recreational, and educational equipment to abused, abandoned, and neglected foster children in the state of Arizona and to kinship foster families currently receiving TANF benefits.

What it reported doing in 2025

The organization held several community events this year for kinship foster families, foster children, and children living in group homes. Cash assistance was given to TANF-receiving kinship parents to pay for rent and utilities after financial information was verified to prove the need. Food and clothing were offered to TANF-receiving kinship families, foster children, and children living in group homes. Approximately 300 foster/group home children were served along with 10 TANF-receiving kinship parents.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Grant intermediary. The nonprofit sent 100% of its reported program spending out as grants.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and expenses are high relative to revenue.
