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 (4)
- $28,267 spent. As part of the Institute's mission to foster community and social interaction in a healthy environment, we organized a number of annual community events and traditions including the Hampstead Crawfish Boil, the Hampstead Taste & Tour, and the Hampstead Holiday Parade & Gathering featuring Santa Claus & sleigh rides. These events brought over 600 local residents together throughout the year. The annual Hampstead Taste & Tour benefited the nonprofit Montessori School at Hampstead, to which we donated all proceeds totaling $21,513.
- $7,050 spent. As part of our mission to foster community and lifelong learning, the Institute helped the Montessori School at Hampstead achieve its goal of creating a school campus. We contributed $7,050 towards this by paying for professional services associated with the school expansion. As a result, the school has doubled its student enrollment.
- $6,000 spent. Supported community outdoor fitness and wellness classes and workshops including cycling, yoga, and boxing. We also contributed towards the new pickleball courts and community facility in support of our mission to foster healthy, active lifestyles for all ages throughout the community.
- The Institute supported the maintenance and improvements to Hampstead Farm, providing community garden beds with a barn, tools, and windmill for local residents to gather and grow natural, seasonal food. This is in support of our commitment to foster health and wellness.
