Overview

Mission

Youth Development

What it reported doing in 2020

Due to the Covid restrictions we were not able to run our programs past March. Only 18 young people were served from January to March. Other activities included Food distribution to 500 people every two weeks from June through September. Food was donated from Federal programs.

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

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
