Overview
Mission
Our Organizations Mission is to promote solidarity among minority communitiesimmigrants /African Americans, help reduce the number of dependencies and high crime rates and help improve the living conditions of every minority family with emphasis on young people in minority concentrated cities who find it difficult to get employment because of minor criminal records and or no college education, by creating programs that encourage minority participation for their own empowerment and to be financially independent and reduce poverty. We are committed to increasing awareness and making healthcare accessible, raising awareness against substance and opioid addiction, promoting education and youth activities, campaigning against gun violence through sports and recreational activities, and standing up for the underserved or marginalized communities.
What it reported doing in 2025
During the year, the organization advanced its charitable mission to empower minority and underserved communities through education, economic opportunity, youth development, violence prevention, health-resource awareness, and community advocacy. Programs provided job-readiness workshops, mentorship, vocational referrals, and employment support to individuals facing barriers to employment. Youth initiatives offered tutoring, mentoring, sports, and positive recreational activities designed to promote leadership, confidence, academic engagement, and alternatives to crime and violence. The organization also conducted community outreach on substance-use and opioid-misuse prevention and connected individuals and families with available behavioral-health and community resources. Advocacy and community-building activities promoted equity, cultural inclusion, and social empowerment among immigrant and African-American communities, strengthening family and community networks, reducing social isolation, and improving access to supportive resources.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
- 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. Revenue has declined or grown slowly and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
