Overview

Mission

Our mission is to foster a more compassionate and just society. We are a network of vital programs and resources that ensures every person has an opportunity to achieve a better life.

What it reported doing in 2024

Family & community services: our family & community services programs help our neighbors pay bills, resolve family and business conflicts and navigate through obstacles that hinder self-sufficiency. Program services include the home energy assistance program (heap) and the weatherization referral and packaging program (wrap) which provides low-income households with weatherization services to make homes more energy efficient and reduce heating costs; the long island dispute resolution center, surrogate decision-making and restorative justice programs which provide conflict resolution interventions that help individuals, families, businesses, and the community at large to resolve a wide range of disputes, education, rehabilitation, and support enforcement (erase) and project support are early intervention programs that enforce child support collections by educating non-compliant, non-custodial parents and monitoring their payments. Sanctions intervention evaluates needs, identifies barriers, and helps sanctioned public assistance recipients come into compliance with temporary assistance for needy families requirements so they can maintain their benefits.

Operating model

Revenue model
Grant-funded. 86% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
