Overview

Mission

Hearts of Humanity aims to provide a hand up not a hand out, in efforts to restore a sense of community based humanity and dignity in the areas/individuals that are often overlooked. We provide sustainable tools to educate, improve and lend a hand up to becoming self sufficient.

What it reported doing in 2024

Our program serviced families and other community based organizations by making sure low-income individuals had the basic necessities for life, work , school, and home. We were able to expanded our program to also assist some whom were right above the federal guidelines but still needed assistance. We create tiers in which they could still benefit from the program.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 97% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.

The verdict

MIXED - A large share of total spending goes to programs and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filing does not identify recipients for some grant dollars.
