Overview

Mission

The corporation is organized under the general not-for-profit corporation act for purposes of providing financial education and housing counseling to underserved populations and any other charitable, educational or other purpose described in sections 501(c)(3) of the united states internal revenue code of 1986, as amended ("code"). Not withstanding any other provision of these articles of incorporation, the corporation is formed and shall be operated exclusively for one or more tax-exempt purposes specified in section 501(c)(3) of the code. Our mission is to financially empower the community through our direct service programs, volunteer activities, and through community giveback.

What it reported doing in 2024

Workshops - we provided 44 finanical workshops to the general community and 96 youth financial education events.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 97% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Hybrid. The nonprofit split its reported program spending across 55% for direct work, and 45% for grants.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and liabilities are high compared with assets.
