Mission

We strive to positively affect our community and alter the trajectory of its residents. We work toward our goal by promoting self-awareness, providing intergenerational mentoring, and offering opportunities for skill-building, training, and education. We're guided by our values: Health: We support holistic health care, which includes physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual wellness. Opportunity: We ensure equality and equity for those who are often overlooked. Purpose: We help people develop their talents and creativity, helping them succeed and improving society for all. Education: We provide opportunities for people to acquire knowledge and skills, a key component of upward mobility and poverty reduction. Empowerment: We promote a safe, uplifting environment where people recognize their power to oppress but to liberate.

Each tax year counts once: when a return was amended, only the latest return for that period is used below (superseded returns stay listed, greyed, under Finances).

Who gave

Contributor names are not public for this form type.

Public charities filing Form 990 or 990-EZ report large donors on Schedule B, but the IRS withholds their names and addresses from public copies. Private foundations (990-PF) are different: their contributors are public.

Finances

Newest first. Each filing: its name on one row, its figures on the row beneath. Greyed filings are superseded by a later return for the same period and are left out everywhere else on this page.

Funders of this organization

1 grantor reported grants to this organization, $55,248 in all, tax years 2024 to 2025. Exact: the grantor wrote this organization's EIN. Fuzzy: the grantor wrote only a name (foundations' 990-PF has no EIN field), matched to the same or a near-identical name in the same state; the name as filed is shown. From the latest return for each grantor and year, so amended returns aren't counted twice. CSV

Where the money went

Every expense line on each return, biggest first: Form 990 Part IX (with its program, management and fundraising columns), 990-EZ Part I, or 990-PF Part I. Event marks lines the organization itself describes as events. “Events” in each summary adds those lines, conferences and meetings, and the direct costs of fundraising events. Unusual is not the same as improper. Many of these patterns have ordinary explanations. Check the filing.
