Overview

Mission

We aim to leave a positive, memorable impression on a child receiving luggage. We encourage individuals to be a part of a childs village by writing a note of love, hope, and encouragement. These particular notes are then placed inside each piece of luggage. Unique luggage tags of love, hope, and encouragement are also included on each piece. The more notes and luggage tags we can make, the more love we get to spread to our youth.

What it reported doing in 2024

Over 275 pieces of luggage and inspirational tags and notes to children entering into foster care were distributed in this fiscal year.

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
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. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and expenses are high relative to revenue.
