Overview

Mission

Our mission is to provide support services, resources and most of all love, care, hope and inspiration to underserved communities. We do this through fostering young men from 16 and over, host back to school events, feed the homeless and provide them with warming gear and mentor youth.

What it reported doing in 2025

We foster young adult males that have aged out of the regular foster care that are from 17 and older. In 2025 we fostered 6 youth, some of whom had aged out of the foster care system, who lived in the home, finished school, worked and paid rent and their basic needs. We provided some of their food (for the home), outings for their entertainment, transportation to work and other places.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 67% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 97% 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. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
