Overview

Mission

Learning, Access to resources, community Unity, Nutrition, Career access & Health (LAUNCH) are the resource areas that the Empowerment Center for Children, Youth and Families (ECCYF) brings to economically disadvantaged Norfolk neighborhoods.

What it reported doing in 2024

Unity - ECCYF sponsored a Christmas gathering on December 14, 2024 with cultural celebrations (music, nativity drama, fellowship), as well as holiday food baskets for 250 families and gifts for 700 children. The event promoted peace making and violence prevention in cooperation with the Presbytery of Eastern Virginia and the Norfolk City Government. A similar gathering was held in August 2024, with a back to school emphasis, supplying 300 students with school supplies. These events also bring resource providers to the Park Place and Huntersville neighborhoods of Norfolk, with average attendance of 1,000 youth and adults. Overall ECCYF activities also bring resources through out the year to communities served.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% 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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
