Overview

Mission

What it reported doing in 2024

Community wellness and social services: kin on offers a wide variety of community-based programs to help asian seniors age well at home. These programs include evidence-based healthcare workshops, educational seminars led by volunteer medical professionals, family caregiver support and counseling, technology helpdesk, and social activities such as arts and craft, dancing, mah-jong, etc. The community-based programs are offered in mandarin, cantonese and english.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 90% 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.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and most voting board members are independent. The filing reports few safeguards for money sent abroad and the filing does not identify recipients for some grant dollars.
