Overview
Mission
We’re neighbors helping neighbors.
What it reported doing in 2025
Community aid supports non-profit partners serving our local community by providing cash and clothing contributions. In 2025, $603,650 in bin distributions, $267,800 in care cards and $586,825 in grants were distributed.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 94% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 98% 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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
