Overview

Mission

Charitable services

What it reported doing in 2024

The objectives of this organization are to fund and perform charitable service by: donating money directly to other charities, direct performance of the following activities: handyman services, simple repairs and facility improvements, preparing and serving meals, food distribution, training classes in areas such as music, financial literacy, repair and maintenance of vehicles, household repair and maintenance, general education - tutoring, woodwork and metalwork, performing music, hospital volunteer activities, and serving on charitable boards and foundations.

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
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 and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
