Overview

Mission

A neighborhood based intermediary for programs and support for families who preside in those neighborhoods.

What it reported doing in 2024

Our partnership with the Office of Violence Prevention, implements a multi-dimensional approach similar to the Cure Violence 414Life model. Our public health approach to address interpersonal violence, is designed to prevent anti-social behavior, a determining factor for the violence.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 100% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
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 some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
