Overview

Mission

Heart & hand center is dedicated to a world with no opportunity gap. By creating a nurturing community, heart & hand empowers all young people to realize their potential.

What it reported doing in 2024

The heart & hand center provides after-school and summer programming to 225 youth, 2nd grade through 2 years after high school graduation in northeast denver. We utilize a whole child approach to empower youth to succeed academically, promote physical and emotional wellness, and expose students to new passion areas. This approach consists of academic enrichment, social emotional skills, health and wellness, creative expression, and family engagement. We also work with families to provide wrap around services such as emergency shelter referrals, schools supplies, assistance in job placement, and emergency funding.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 94% 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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and expenses are high relative to revenue.
