What it reported doing in 2024

The HUB's after-school program operates every afternoon when school is open and a few days per week in the summer. Our youth center was open 193 days during our last fiscal year. We served 122 unduplicated youth with 1,288 hot meals plus snacks and drinks. Our staff and volunteers help students' complete homework, teach them new games, lead interesting conversations and encourage arts and crafts projects. Our staff get to know students and families and we are ready to help when things go sideways. We refer families to needed services.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 94% 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

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
