Overview

Mission

To share compassion and resources with needy children in the US and foreign countries.

What it reported doing in 2010

C4K's Local Outreach Program consists of two primary projects. The Student Family Support Project (SFSP) partners with school social workers & family liaisons in Lawrence Township, Indianapolis, to identify and serve the neediest students (e.g. homeless). C4K provides the students with new backpacks, school supplies, and hygiene kits, as well as some funding for specialized urgent needs. C4Ks second Local Project is to support The Caring Center, a local food and clothing pantry, through volunteers support in organizing and promoting food & clothing drives within the community. These in-kind donations are made directly to the Lawrence Caring Center. C4K also supports the Center with funds. C4K provides on-site volunteer support at the Center with sorting, organizing, and displaying donations; organizing special events; and promoting general awareness in the community. C4K also provides other local charities specialized donation items we may receive, but cannot use in our programs.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent spending detail to tell whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.

The verdict

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
