What it reported doing in 2024

The kinship navigator program currently serves lubbock and four surrounding counties of hale, hockley, lynn, and crosby with hopes to expend in the future to additional thirty nearby counties which our organization serves. The program makes resources available to the grandparents, aunts, uncles, siblings, and friends who have been named the legal gardians of non-biological children and would benefit from assistance with legal needs, food, clothing, rent, medical needs and childcare while these children are in their care. Kinship currently serves 7 counties: bailey, crosby, hale, hockley, lubbock, lynn and terry with 426 families and 828 youth/children enrolled in services.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
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.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

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.
