Overview

Mission

The corporation is organized to provide educational and outreach assistance to low-income, non-english speaking, elderly or disabled individuals of the community in effort to help these individuals and families achieve self-suffciency through community-based organizations, awareness and education, financial literacy, and advocacy in an atmosphere of respect.

What it reported doing in 2024

Federal income tax preparation and e-filing services provided at no cost to qualifying low-income individuals. During the 2024 year, trained volunteers, spent 1,384 hours preparing tax returns.

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.

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 program spending has declined or grown slowly.
