Overview

Mission

County-wide organization that works with partners in our communities to give families what they need to thrive so they can stay together, remain self-sufficient, and support the health and learning of their children.

What it reported doing in 2024

Assisting with paperwork, facilitating meetings with other agencies, providing emergency financial assistance, all with the goal of preventing crises that require more intensive services for families.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 96% 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. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
