Mission
HopeAustin is a volunteer based, local 501(c)(3) charitable organization aimed at securing basic life sustaining needs to the youngest members of our community. With the assistance of community partnerships, HopeAustin works to eliminate childhood hunger one meal and one child at a time. HopeAustin provides weekend meals to local students who experience food insecurity while away from their free/reduced meal programs offered by local school districts.

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 Greyed filings are superseded by a later return for the same period and are left out everywhere else on this page.

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.
