Overview

Mission

Serving at risk youth, and those with developmental disabilities, as well as foster kids aging out of the system. We assist that demographic with basic needs (food, clothing & shelter).

What it reported doing in 2024

In 2024 we took 275 kids in foster care for a weeklong vacation in san diego California and winter camp in williams, az. We provided over 2,500 meals for kids in foster care and helped aging out youth find housing, providing initial deposits and rent payments. Hanai peoria city hall opened specifically to provide valuable work experience and life skills to young adults who have aged out of the foster care system.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 97% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 86% 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 - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and expenses are high relative to revenue.
