Overview

Mission

To better prepare our young people to succeed in an increasingly global economy by providing school and community initiatives that foster awareness, understanding and appreciation of cultural diversity.

What it reported doing in 2016

The foundation's goals are as follows: 1) increase awareness of different cultures for children at all grade levels in our schools as a learning tool to expand their horizons, foster open-mindedness and provide value-added learning experiences 2) promote greater understanding and appreciation of the different cultures represented by the "faces" in our community and celebrate this diversity 3) promote harmony among different cultures in our community. The foundation has partnered with the local county school system to expose students to different cultures and teach them to be more tolerant. The foundation visits classrooms throughout the county and assists the classes in choosing a culture to study and helps educate the students on the chosen culture through educational and creative means. One such learning technique involves creating decorative masks that represent the chosen culture. The students then display their artwork and newly acquired knowledge at the international folk festival, a festival for all cumberland county students sponsored by faces in the community and fayetteville state university.

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

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
