What it reported doing in 2025
In 2025, CORE CONNECT INC. made significant strides in strengthening its impact and organizational capacity, successfully securing over $83,000 in funding to support its mission and programming. The organization demonstrated strong financial stewardship by maintaining positive net assets and preserving restricted scholarship funds, ensuring long-term sustainability. Throughout the year, CORE CONNECT focused on delivering meaningful community-based services and expanding its operational infrastructure, investing in program activities, supplies, and strategic resources to better serve its target population. With consistent program implementation and a commitment to responsible growth, the organization positioned itself for continued expansion, increased community reach, and deeper impact in the years ahead.
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
SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
