Overview

Mission

The organization's mission is to run a thrift store and use the profits to promote young life (a ministry for students), create opportunities for young people to provide service and learn new job skills, promote volunteerism in colusa county, and to help those in need wherever possible.

What it reported doing in 2015

Impact receives funds from a united way grant under the emergency food and shelter national board program. With this grant and additional donations to the food bank program, we were able to provide thousands of colusa county residents with meals.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 85% of the money available for current operations came from other operating 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. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
