Overview

Mission

Pomona Hope is a grassroots, faith-based non-profit whose holistic programs empower people of all backgrounds, particularly at-risk youth and their families, to work together toward personal and community transformation.

What it reported doing in 2024

Padres Fuertes Hacen Familias Fuertes- A parent community of 17 adults with a shared interest in becoming stronger, healthier people which increases their ability to raise their children in the best way possible.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 97% 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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
