Overview
Mission
Providing direct support to women in underserved communities
What it reported doing in 2023
Sponsor-a-Mom 2023 Program first annual which will be our organization's main project each year. We provided 10 families who met needs-based criteria and were referred by licensed providers and educators with fulfillment of their wish list items. In-kind donations were distributed to families and organization funds were used to fulfill additional wish list items and provide holiday meal packs non-perishable items and grocery gift cards to relive the financial burden of the holidays for single-mother families. Total listed here includes both in-kind and cash totals.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 100% 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
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filed totals do not add up and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
