Impact evidence
Describes programs. Its tax return describes what it does but we have found no measurable results in it.
Programs described in its return (5)
- $457,690 spent. The remainder of the overall program expenses, especially a majority for the outreach building expenses less those for adminstrative expenses, which are not able to be broken out for any indivitual program would include: One7 Alive, which is a weekly neighborhood outreach ministry event; weekly soccer practices; and bible studies; mission trips to other cities outside of Charlotte, NC; providing housing to families in need, and as needs arise, One7 Ministries also engages in yard work for families in need, as well as, providing groceries for families. We began hosting a smaller version of One7 Alive In April 2021
- $129,934 spent. One7 has 5 soccer teams: two U19s, U16, U10, and U12. One7 uses soccer to train and menter young leaders while instilling values such as team work, dedication, sportsmanship, hard work, and perservarance. We participated in a local soccer league, roughly 7 tournaments, and US Club Regionals and Nationals.
- $125,272 spent. In the past couple of years, One7 has made a point of assisting young people, not only with their school work through the After School program, but also with being able to attend college (secondary education) by paying for tuition expenses. The majority of the young people who are helped, come from extremely poor families and without this assistance, they would not be able to attend college. In 2022, One7 International Academy was started to be a private school in North Carolina.
- $55,992 spent. This 4th program is only for Vehicle Expenses, which are allocable to every program, but a percentage for each program can not be attained.
- Item 4D is the amount for Vehicle Expenses which are applicable to every program; however, can not be broken down, by percentage, to any of the individual programs.
