Overview
Mission
KIASWI works to advance its mission of strengthening families and improving outcomes for children through the Project Genesis initiative. Project Genesis focuses on increasing father engagement across the Lowcountry region of South Carolina. Through a combination of recognition, storytelling, and community outreach, KIASWI is creating a culture of pride and confidence that encourages fathers to become more present and active in their children's lives
What it reported doing in 2025
KIASWI's VOICE is a platform created for fathers to share real stories of how they overcame challenges to remain present in their children's lives. These testimonies are meant to inspire and motivate other fathers struggling with the idea of parenting. Since launching the pilot program in 2025, KIASWI has interviewed three fathers who have shared their parenting journeys. Through these efforts, KIASWI has increased community awareness around the importance of father involvement, strengthened relationships between fathers and their children, and created a growing network of men committed to positive parenting. KIASWI continues to build momentum by expanding partnerships and preparing for the launch of its Better You program (scheduled for late 2026), which will provide structured support in parenting, financial literacy, and co-parenting skills.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 100% 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
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and expenses are high relative to revenue.
