Overview

Mission

Community based mutual aid organization providing direct support to individuals and families.

What it reported doing in 2025

Support includes reimbursement for basic needs such as food, transportation, utilities, housing related costs, and other immediate necessities. In 2025, GSNS provided direct support to approximately 150 individuals and households, prioritizing timely assistance and dignity centered distribution.

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. Some filed totals do not add up and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
