Overview
Mission
Provide new build-a-bears to children in need at various hospitals and local organizations. We've also supported the homeless population by supplying food, clothing, shelter, and other various needs.
What it reported doing in 2024
With the grant we received and the public support we were able to feed hundreds of the homeless population with fresh homecooked meals. In addition we were also able to continually provide blessing bags and essentials items in an effort to help them on the streets. We also provided hundreds of build-a-bears to children in local hospitals, making 5 stops to various facilities to drop them off.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
