Mission
Essential Needs is a non-profit organization that aims to build a healthy mind and body for all. Through a variety of outreach programs and services, our committed team of professionals and trained volunteers help make the healthy the choice the easiest choice for individuals and communities in need by:identifying and distributing social, educational, and economic resources to support healthy decisions and behaviors; and participating in volunteer and advocacy efforts focused on improving quality of life, health, and overall wellbeing.
Each tax year counts once: when a return was amended, only the latest return for that period is used below (superseded returns stay listed, greyed, under Finances).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 Greyed filings are superseded by a later return for the same period and are left out everywhere else on this page.

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.
