Overview

Mission

We are organized and operated exclusively for the benefit of and to support Family and Child Guidance Center (the Clinic), which is exempt from Federal Income Tax purposes under Section 501(c)3 of the Internal Revenue Code and is a public charity within the meaning of Section 509(a) of the Code. The corporation shall support and benefit the Clinic, by among other things, soliciting, receiving, holding (either absolutely or in trust as a trustee), investing and managing gifts, grants, contributions and requests which are intended to benefit the long-term goals, purposes and objectives the Clinic, and by managing and endowment fund for the benefit of the Clinic. The assets and properties of the Corporation are hereby pledged for use in performing its exempt function.

What it reported doing in 2020

The only program for the Foundation is to fund the Center in perpetuity. The funds are to be used for program or general and administrative needs.

Operating model

Revenue model
Investment-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from recurring investment income.
Distribution model
Grant intermediary. The nonprofit sent 77% of its reported program spending out as grants.

The verdict

STRONG - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of total spending goes to programs. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and the available information about grant readiness automatic revocation leaves an important question unanswered.
