Mission

Hope for Kids Foundation's mission is to inspire today's kids to be tomorrow's leaders. We teach families the importance of nurturing a healthy unity in the home. Our work focuses on supporting emotionally injured children in our underserved neighborhoods, for children in all grade levels. We teach the importance of unity, leadership, healthy problem-solving skills, self-worth, the importance of good hygiene, and wearing a mask, how to socialize safely through social distancing, and we provide them with college resources, tools, and support for their future.

We provided items such as family meals, haircuts, gloves, masks, disinfectants, clothes, shoes, hygiene items, Community events for Easter, Summer lunches, back to school event, Christmas gifts and sponsored other holiday events for the community

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 83% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
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

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
