Overview

Mission

Stiles Hall is a private, non-profit agency dedicated to serving the broader community while enriching the lives of U.C.B. students. The Agency Mission today is to help low income, inner city youth to stay in school; to engage University of California students in meaningful community service; to promote lasting interracial understanding, especially among future community leaders; and to remain a center for real community, hope and democratic values.

What it reported doing in 2024

Vets Helping Vets (also known as Hired Labs)-Hired Labs is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization working to end veteran underemployment. Veterans have the skills employers seek, but are more likely to be underemployed than their peers. Although significant strides have been made in reducing veteran unemployment, the underemployment gap between veterans and non-veterans has been growing since 2010 and continues to widen. Veterans who enlisted in the military are more likely to be underemployed than those who served as commissioned officers.

Operating model

Revenue model
Investment-supported. 81% of the money available for current operations came from recurring investment income.
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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
