Overview

Mission

We help communities restore trust through intentional relationships. We do this through three programs. First, our neighbor to neighbor network, which equips people to build relationships with their neighbors. Second, our friendship houses, which are houses built in underserved neighborhoods with community spaces that host events, groups, block parties and have a full time staff member living in them building relationships. Third, through our we care campus programs, which exist in schools in shawnee helping teach students social-emotional skills and helping support teachers.

What it reported doing in 2024

We care. Campus provides relational health education and support to students and faculty at shawnee public schools, grove public school, and pleasant grove public school. The three strategies of we care. Campus work to improve the long-term social and emotional health of students; two essential building blocks for their ability to learn and create pathways to their goals. The three strategies are the campus culture initiative, which provides character development to 1392 kids; after-school clubs, which invest in at-risk and leadership students alike; and elevate, a daily, first hour class at shawnee middle and high schools targeting chronically absent students which provides skills and pathways for student success.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 80% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.

  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
