Overview

Mission

To promote the general welfare and development of residents of, and persons and groups residing in northern California, specifically low income and disabled senior citizens, underserved youth, community outreach for mentoring programs and resources for disadvantaged groups as they attempt to educate themselves, obtain housing, health benefits and employment.

Operating model

Revenue model
Grant-funded. 84% 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 - 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 some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
