Overview

Mission

Providing resources to enhance the quality of life by creating long term solutions for children, individuals and families.

What it reported doing in 2018

The foundation held a fundraiser selling food dinners to the local community and the porfits were usedto benifit the programs we offer

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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filed totals do not add up and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
