Overview

Mission

Caritas Creeks mission is the help young people discover the connection between all living things; to build bridges between diverse socioeconomic and ethic groups; and to foster in youth a deeper connection to the natural environment to self the the spirit of love and to themselves.

What it reported doing in 2024

Caritas Creeks hosts an annual Fundraising Gala to financially assist students to attend our camp. This is the only event we host annually. We provide food drinks and entertainment. All proceeds go towards paying the vendors of the event event expenses and camp scholarships for young people. The 50th Gala hosted about 300 individuals and all donations are used towards funding camperships and scholarships to Caritas Creek.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Transfer-based 990-EZ. The 990-EZ reports grants or member benefits, but it does not separate enough spending to show the nonprofit’s full delivery mix.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and program spending has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
