Overview

Mission

Human Services

What it reported doing in 2024

Youth and Young Adult Wellness Programs:** Addressing childhood hunger and health insecurities by fostering awareness and prevention through initiatives focused on physical fitness and nutritional health. These programs serve underserved and low-income students and families positively impacting approximately 20,000 individuals across Southern Maryland each year.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
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. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
