Overview

Mission

To connect people, including individuals in need, underprivileged individuals, beneficiaries, volunteers, and supporters to nonprofit resources and information in their communities by developing and implementing technological solutions such as an online search platform to easily access resources and opportunities for engagement with nonprofits in their communities.

What it reported doing in 2025

Maintained and expanded an online platform that connected users with nonprofits based on specific criteria such as cause, services, and location. Benefited over 29,000 engaged users and highlighted 900+ nonprofit listings.

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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Revenue has declined or grown slowly and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
