What it reported doing in 2018
We have established a website with tons of community resources compiled for easy viewing and get between 2000 and 12000 hits per month on the site. we have no employees and josh pierce-seal donates his time and skills to the website to help the community. we have started a business outreach program to offer them advertising on our website which hasn't taken off yet, but it will. we're trying to bolster the economy by getting the community to notice small businesses and get them interacting more. we also have connected over 13,000 people in our facebook private group where anyone can ask for help and anyone can help them. beautiful things happen in there. we are beginners and are learning the ropes of nonprofit, we just wanted to help people, so we haven't done any grants yet but we have a grant writer that wants to help us to do something big here in 2019 or 2020. stay tuned. thank you.
Operating model

- Donor-supported. 76% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent spending detail to tell whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.
The verdict
REVIEW - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
