Overview

Mission

Low-income disabled housing

What it reported doing in 2025

We furthered our charitable mission by awarding micro-grants to local nonprofit organizations to provide programs and services to local communities. We will continue to search for partners/collaborators to provide affordable housing to low-income and a-risk populations and to deliver the innovative service learning and economic opportunity model called ReV-UP.

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
Distribution model
Hybrid. The nonprofit split its reported program spending across 49% for direct work, and 51% for 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 revenue has declined or grown slowly.
