Overview
Mission
To create a safer, more compassionate oakland for everyone
What it reported doing in 2024
We organized food distributions during the holiday season and lunar new year to support vulnerable community members of oakland chinatown. Volunteers delivered hot meals to more than 200 families and seniors. These efforts helped ease food insecurity and promoted community connection during culturally significant times.
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. Revenue has declined or grown slowly and expenses are high relative to revenue.
