Overview
Mission
Sunbelt human advancement resources, inc. Is a not for profit corporation whose principal activities consist of administering programs that are funded by grants from various governmental agencies, the acceptance of which requires compliance with the prescribed grant conditions and other requirements including, but not limited to, the furnishing of certain amounts of cash or non-cash contributions to the programs from non-federal sources.
What it reported doing in 2024
Share offers several primary programs. The community services block grant provides direct crisis intervention designed to promote economic stability to at risk households whose basic security needs are threatened, to reduce undue hardships and threats to health and well being of eligible households through emergency intervention for eviction, prevention, medication, and utility assistance, transportation, and child care and to facilitate opportunities to households in greenville, anderson, oconee and pickens counties of South Carolina to become self-sufficient relative to education, employment, housing and health care. Approximately 739 families were served this year.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Grant-funded. 100% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 90% 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 - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and most voting board members are independent. The filing does not identify recipients for some grant dollars and expenses are high relative to revenue.
