What it reported doing in 2024

Kitchen angels is a volunteer organization devoted to delivering hot and wholesome meals to santa feans who through illness or other circumstances might do without. Volunteers help provide meals and visitation to those in need. Kitchen angels remains one of the only agencies in New Mexico to provide free, nutritious meals to homebound individuals living with chronic or terminal illness.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 82% 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. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and expenses are high relative to revenue.
