Overview

Mission

To help anyone in need the best we can.

What it reported doing in 2025

1 COMMUNITY ASSISTANCE AND ADVOCACY PROGRAM: We delivered food on a consistent basis to over 50 homes in our community, we ran multiple errands for 10-20 community members in need which included picking up their groceries, prescriptions, helping to protect their housing rights, and more. We advocated for over 5 community members in need by helping them connect with medical services and protecting them from being bullied and treated unfairly. 2 ANIMAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM: We helped advocate, treat, train and care for 50-70 stray and housed animals. This includes taking them off the streets and out of high-kill shelters, providing medical needs such as spaying and neutering, and all other necessary pre-adoption care needs, as well as finding them loving homes and in turn, helping to make the entire community safer. We also provided dog psychology workshop events for approximately 60 community members to help them better understand their relationship with their dogs, and how to care for new canine family members more harmoniously. 3 ASSISTING NONPROFITS PROGRAM: We advocated for and donated to a public benefit nonprofit that provides a variety of educational curriculum and helps people in need learn how to harmonize, care for one another, and solve major social issues. We developed a program strategy that will allow us to help even more people, by looking for like-minded religious organizations such as churches, to also donate funds to, so even more communities in need can be helped, and our impact is spread more efficiently.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 98% 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. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and expenses are high relative to revenue.
