Overview

Mission

Our mission is to foster inclusive opportunities, empower personal growth, and build a strong community of support through innovative, compassionate, and family-centered programs.

What it reported doing in 2025

The season's diamonds and knights is the little white house's girls and boys social club, a unique and inclusive program designed for girls and boys with neurodiverse abilities. We aim to create a nurturing environment where participants can connect, learn, and celebrate their unique strengths and personalities. Over 12 weeks, members come together for weekly gatherings filled with fun activities, meaningful interactions, community service, and skill-building opportunities. Each session is thoughtfully planned to foster confidence, social skills, and a sense of belonging within the community. The program culminates in an enchanting christmas ball, where participants are celebrated for their growth and achievements. This grand event provides an unforgettable experience, showcasing their journey and the bonds theyve formed along the way.

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 89% 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 a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
