Overview
Mission
Our mission is to serve our community by providing resources and opportunities for people of all ages and backgrounds to play together.
What it reported doing in 2025
We have created a free community lending library of toys, games, and puzzles. In 2025, we loaned out over 16,000 items from our inventory of over 6,000 donated toys, games, and puzzles to over 2,000 community families.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 99% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% 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
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
