Also, to excel academically, personally, and socially. May 2024 - Beavered Mother's Day.

Also, this event brought awareness to the impact of gun violence. June 2024 - National Gun Violence Awareness. Purpose: We turned the city orange. This event was a time to honor victims and survivors of gun violence and to raise awareness about gun violence prevention.

Sisters & Supporters Working Against Gun Violence (S.W.A.G) also participates year round in resource tabling event and speaking engagements in the communities.
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
SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
