Overview

Mission

Our vision is to create a world where all men realize their value as caretakers of their communities by providing self-help opportunities and supportive services to fathers, families, and community members.

What it reported doing in 2025

Occupations instead of incarceration (oioi) - with this initiative, our commitment is to promote social economic enterprises. Oioi's goals are to remove barriers to success wherever they may exist and replace them with ladders of opportunities for our youth by providing career and entrepreneurial readiness skills needed to increase ones potential. There are three career paths that are offered and have had much success. The silk-screening path which teaches participants the ins and outs of the field. The cornerstone bakery which operates and retails at the schenectady green market every sunday. The landscaping path currently works in conjunction with the city of schenectady's re-tree initiative. Contact us to learn more about this initiative and how to get yourself or child involved.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
