Overview

Mission

Need-based emergency relief on racially non-discriminatory basis to military guard members, reservists, and their families.

What it reported doing in 2024

Individuals and families received 44 needs-based emergency awards and grants as well as 14 new needs based loans were made. The loans are non-interest bearing and the funds are relvolving so no expenditure occurs unless the funds are not repaid.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 89% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Hybrid. The nonprofit split its reported program spending across 48% for direct work, and 52% for grants.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
