Overview
Mission
Quiet Givers is a group created to serve the people of the North Carolina High Country by filling the gaps in assistance by crowdsourcing needs in our community. While we are only able to provide direct assistance to individuals with a referral from another agency, we exist as a community hub to help connect people with avenues of assistance that are available in our area. Every need we post comes through an approved agency or individual like a DSS worker, church, school counselor, charity, homeless shelter, etc. They submit a ticket to our system and we help them find an agency, fund, or grant to fill the need. Once an agency submits a ticket, all communication about the need will go throug.
What it reported doing in 2025
Provided basic needs to underprivileged individuals and families whose needs cannot be met by existing agencies or charitable organizations.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 99% 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 expenses are high relative to revenue.
