Overview
Mission
FAN offer opportunities for youth affected by the child welfare system to cultivate their interests and talents, develop new skills, and find personal and collective validation in a hopeful environment.
What it reported doing in 2024
Serving youth impacted by the child welfare system between the ages of 9-16. Participants get to create an environment where their voice is engrained in the culture. Participants learn leadership skills, the impact of trauma and toxic stress on our young people, positive coping methods to deal with everyday stressors, and equip them with the skills to manage their stress and choose healthy decisions and behaviors. Established in 2020, as a response to COVID-19, our community pantry now serves over 18000 meals annually in partnership with organizations such as Families4Families and Family Medical. The pantry provides access to prepared meals, fresh produce, non-perishable items, and wellness items available to community members daily.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
- 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. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and expenses are high relative to revenue.
