Overview

Mission

Assisting in recovery from Tropical Storm Helene in an underserved area of Western North Carolina.

What it reported doing in 2025

Funds were allocated to both homeowners and renters in Beacon Village, a locally significant neighborhood, to assist with recovery needs after Helene destroyed homes and personal belongings. These families were given allotments to be used for whatever recovery needs came up as a result of catastrophic flooding. Each household was contacted through in-person, on-the-ground efforts and were verified through publicly available records. Funds were distributed equitably with board-approved limits applying by category (owner vs renter). Funds were all sourced via contributions to the organization.

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

SUPPORTED - A large share of total spending goes to programs and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
