Financial health

We do not score finances when yearly spending is very small or the return has too little detail. The ratios stop meaning much at that size.

Governance

This organization files the short tax form, which does not ask about boards, policies or audits. That is normal for a small charity and is not a mark against it.

Programs described in its return (3)
  1. $2,500 spent. Our organization offers a weekly summer educational program that focuses on STEM subjects catering to a group of over 17 children from the local community. This initiative aims to engage and educate children in science technology engineering and mathematics through interactive and hands-on activities. The program not only supplements their formal education but also fosters a love for these critical fields potentially inspiring future careers in STEM.
  2. $2,000 spent. Our organization conducts an annual "Back to School" event where we distribute essential school supplies to more than 100 children in need. This initiative aims to support students from low-income families by ensuring they have the necessary tools to start the school year successfully. By providing backpacks notebooks pens and other supplies we help alleviate the financial burden on families and empower children to engage effectively in their education. Through this program we strive to promote academic success and equal opportunities for all students regardless of their socioeconomic background.
  3. $1,000 spent. During the holiday season we organized a Christmas toy giveaway for approximately 50 children in our community ensuring they received gifts to brighten their celebrations. Additionally we conducted a new coat giveaway providing essential winter clothing to 20 children in need. These programs aimed to spread joy and warmth to vulnerable families during a time of giving and sharing.
