Overview

Mission

Charity disaster relief and development

In the country of Nepal we set up a childrens home for Chepang people. Our relief teams served in Lake Charles and New Orleans helped with two different Hurricanes. Our organization helped with over 520 families or an estimated 1298 people.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Transfer-based 990-EZ. The 990-EZ reports grants or member benefits, but it does not separate enough spending to show the nonprofit’s full delivery mix.

The verdict

REVIEW - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
