Overview

Mission

Act to overcome the prejudice and poverty that degrade and debilitate all members of ourr society by builind communities that celebrate diversity, achieve true mutuality and offer dignity and opportunity to all.

What it reported doing in 2024

Youth empowerment - to enable youth from lower income and rural families to create opportunities for themselves and their communities as they explore the concepts of self-worth, leadership and democracy.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 98% 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 expenses are high relative to revenue.
