Overview
Mission
We believe in walking alongside our community members and encouraging them to value themselves and the resources they have available to them—giving them opportunities to become a positive influence and force in our world, and to love them in truth. It is LOT318’s desire to provide our programs and opportunities to this community. Our outreach is located in an area of approximately 5,000 homes, between two of these turf gangs. In the past 13 years, LOT318’s efforts have proven successful in drawing the youth away from gang activity and improving their educational performances. Are my donations to LOT318 tax deductible? LOT318 is an official 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization. All monies must be made payable to LOT318 in order for the donation to be tax-deductible. We appreciate any and all donations. We run completely by support so any and every donation counts and is greatly needed....
What it reported doing in 2025
LOT318 is investing in a child, changing a generation, and building a community by loving others in truth.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 91% 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
SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and program spending has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
