What it reported doing in 2024

Warm feet warm heartschandler service club worked directly with chandler unified school district health aides to provide new shoes, jackets and personal undergarments for children in dire need. Thoses who come to school inadequately dressed are unable to participate in routine activities, which affects their physical and emotional well-being. In extreme cases, children may stay home from school because of their lack of shoes and clothing. In 2023-2024, we were able to purchase shoes for individual children, distributing 226 new pairs of shoes. Chandler service club also provided 48 new jackets, socks and undergarments, which were delivered by chandler service club to schools upon request.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.

Direct operator. The filing allocates 84% 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. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and liabilities are high compared with assets.
