Overview
Mission
Community Services for Needy Children and Families. Providing relief as needed and services to promote growth in the community and developing productive citizens.
What it reported doing in 2021
Donations of Goods and Services to the community Included backpacks and supplies, turkeys and food boxes, and Christmas toys and clothes to children. All proceeds benefitted over 10 school districts and cities. These goods also benefited low income families, homeless families, and foster families.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 61% 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
MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
