Overview

Mission

We provide assistance to individuals living and/or working in blaine county who are experiencing financial hardship due to an unanticipated crisis.

What it reported doing in 2024

Housing stability assistance - the organization celebrated five years of creating a stable and resilient blaine county community. Since the organization's founding in march of 2020 1.7 million in aid has been distributed to nearly 2,250 (1 out of 11) in blaine county. Through the housing stability assistance program, households received emergency rent, 1st/last deposit, eviction prevention expenses, and transitional housing assistance. In 2024, just over 300 households were served with this emergency assistance. This enabled families to avoid the traumatic effects of eviction, like job loss, poor health, and low performance in school for children.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 76% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Grant intermediary. The nonprofit sent 68% 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. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and expenses are high relative to revenue.
