Overview

Mission

Marnita's Table seeks to make Intentional Social Interaction the new pattern for society where people of color, the disenfranchised, the poor, the unheard and the fragile (the "other") are automatically included and valued at the policy-marking and resource-sharing table.

What it reported doing in 2024

Events sponsored, support costs

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 81% 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

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
