Overview
Mission
Rebuilding Together Detroit's mission is to preserve and revitalize houses and communities, assuring that low-income homeowners including veterans, the elderly and/or disabled, and families with children live in warmth, safety and independence. In partnership with communities, our goal is to make a sustainable impact in the community through support to homeowners.
What it reported doing in 2012
The organization engaged in two distinct projects during the 2012 year and helped individuals in those homes remain in place with dignity, safety and an improved quality of life.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 100% 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. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and the available information about grant readiness automatic revocation leaves an important question unanswered.
