What it reported doing in 2025
Laces of Love gladly accepts NEW sneakers and monetary donations that will help provide shoes to kids in need in Southwest Florida. We prioritize shoe sizes from school age sizes 1 to adult size 9 serving children from kindergarteners to high school seniors. Distribution occurs via Collier and Lee County public schools and partnering non-profits. Shoes are privately fitted in staff offices ensuring the childs dignity. Direct donations to families are not available.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Other-operating. 81% of the money available for current operations came from other operating revenue.
- Distribution model
- Transfer-based 990-EZ. The 990-EZ reports grants or member benefits, but it does not separate enough spending to show the nonprofit’s full delivery mix.
