Overview

Mission

We provide educational, emotional, and financial support to enhance the lives of youths and families. Established in August 2023, we focused on raising awareness in the community to secure donations. Future funds will support youth sports, education, and match sponsorships, including hosting matches and classroom education.

What it reported doing in 2024

This year, the organization significantly enhanced its public engagement and fundraising capabilities by developing a new website. This platform serves as a vital tool for disseminating information about our mission and programs, improving accessibility for the community we serve. Some specific functions like volunteer sign-ups is still under construction. Concurrently, we actively conducted community outreach initiatives to secure donations essential for funding our exempt-purpose activities. These combined efforts in digital presence and direct engagement have expanded our reach and strengthened our ability to provide educational and sport related resources.

Operating model

Revenue model
Investment-supported. 90% of the money available for current operations came from recurring investment income.
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

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. A relatively small share of total spending goes to programs and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
