Overview
Mission
To establish a collaborative, community-based program that will provide fresh and prepared food and community resource information, delivered weekly, to home-bound Portland School District residents and any family affected by serious illness residing in the Portland, Michigan School District, while also developing a template for other communities to follow, if they desire to replicate this program.
What it reported doing in 2024
Prepare and deliver soup to community members in need.
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
SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
