Overview
Mission
Seeking to put god's love into action, habitat for humanity brings people together to build homes, communities and hope to realize our vision of a world where everyone has a decent place to live. Kauai habitat for humanity adheres to a strict non-proselytizing policy and will not base an offer of assistance on the expressed or implied condition that people adhere to or convert to a particular faith or listen and respond to messaging designed to induce conversion to a particular faith.
What it reported doing in 2024
5 homes were completed and transferred to the owners during the fiscal year. 5 other homes were still under construction by the end of the fiscal year. The organization also continued its work to improve land for future use in home building in the following projects: eleele iluna ph. Iii, kauhale o waipouli, puu maluhia (kalaheo), kauhale o namahana (kilauea), kolonahe o lawai. The organization also continues to provide assistance to homebuyer candidates at various stages of the usda loan process, and maintains a robust volunteer program where 299 individuals provided volunteer service across all operational areas to assist in the overall mission of providing affordalbe homes to the community.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 76% 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
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and expenses are high relative to revenue.
