Overview

Mission

Promotes caring and understanding in community

What it reported doing in 2025

The program reaches out to people in the RFM listening area which encompasses a large part of the lower redi river valley of the north. The program helped 62 individuals during the year with donations ranging from 200 to 2,500.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 84% of the money available for current operations came from other operating revenue.
Distribution model
Transfer-based 990-EZ. The 990-EZ reports grants or member benefits, but it does not separate enough spending to show the nonprofit’s full delivery mix.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Expenses are high relative to revenue and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
