Overview

Mission

The mission of GIVE - MENTOR - LOVE Foundation is to heal Los Angeles County youth who have been rescued and are recovering from neglect and abuse, including and especially those recovering from sexual exploitation.

What it reported doing in 2024

Our primary objectives are: 1) to support youth rescue by providing for immediate and long-term housing and other basic needs; and 2) to provide programs that aid in the recovery of youth from trauma and put them on a path towards a successful future. We do this by providing support for housing and basic needs; through enrichment programs that teach basic life and social skills; and through mentorship programs designed to build resiliency, promote self-worth and emotional safety and well-being, heal trauma, and aid in the recovery process. We provide support to approximately 1,000 Los Angeles youth each year.

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 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.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and program spending has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
