Overview
Mission
Core's mission is to seek donations of used furniture items and re-donate them to families in need in summit county. A family's needs are first verified through a home visit performed by a social services agency or a core home visit team member.
What it reported doing in 2024
More than 25,000 families in summit county live below the federal poverty level, according to the u.s. Census. Core helps this group of people in a tangible way by providing them with major pieces of furniture, including beds, dresses, dinner tables and sofas.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 98% 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 total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
