Overview
Mission
We provide low or no-cost car repairs to low-income people.
What it reported doing in 2024
We served approximately 350 clients in our first year of operation. Our volunteers donated approximately $150,000 of free labor to serve these low-income customers.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 90% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 88% 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
MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
