Overview
Mission
Our Mission:** Seeking to put God’s love into action, Habitat for Humanity brings people together to build homes, communities and hope. Vision:** A world where everyone has a decent place to live. What We Do:** Verde Valley Habitat for Humanity was founded in 1993 by a group of area residents concerned about the lack of affordable workforce housing in the Verde Valley. Today we serve the Verde Valley through two programs. Our primary program is to partner with low-income families in need of decent, affordable housing to help them build their own home and qualify for an affordable mortgage. For almost 30 years, VVHFH has built or rehabilitated 21 homes throughout Sedona, Clarkdale, Rimrock an.
What it reported doing in 2024
The re store provides needed resoures in funding construction of homes for qualified low income families. Administrative and re store expenses are managed and kept to a minimum through reviewed budgets and other supervision and oversite by the organizations executive director and the board.
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.
- Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.
The verdict
STRONG - 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 expenses are high relative to revenue.
