Overview
Mission
Education - to fund programs that allow children in our community to have the assets and skills necessary to be successful in school and the opportunity to become self sufficient and productive members of society. Income - we fund programs that help families in our community become capable of meeting their own needs and be financially self supporting by increasing income, building savings, and gaining and sustaining assets. Health - to fund programs that help seniors and those with disabilities remain independent with a good quality of life for as long as possible and to prevent abuse through education and provide victims of abuse recovery and or advocacy services.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 66% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Cannot be determined from the filing. The program-spending lines do not add up, so the filing cannot show reliably whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
