Overview

Mission

To support charitable organizations in the williams county, Ohio area.

What it reported doing in 2024

The organization awards grants to numerous non-profits mostly in the williams county area. Specifically, grants are from endowment funds set up on behalf of area schools, churches, social service agencies, animal shelters, youth programs and local united way.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The program-spending lines do not add up, so the filing cannot show reliably whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.

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 some filed totals do not add up.
