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)
- $7,649 spent. Back to Basics - Targeting girls during their most vulnerable teenage years, Back to Basics helps prepare them for womanhood during six consecutively running weekly meetings. The girls are engaged in guided discussions, taught basic life and coping skills, and receive hands-on support as they work through difficult experiences at home, at work, and among their peer group. No two groups are alike they flexibly meet the needs of participants limited to 10 girls per session.
- $22,379 spent. Mother over Murder - Filling a large gap in the social services system, the one-of-a-kind Mothers Over Murder M.O.M. program provides support and encouragement to women and a few dads who have lost loved ones to senseless acts of violence in our city. Affected parents are always warmly welcomed and, as they're ready, walked through the stages of grief in ways that only those who have been there can do. Women further along in the healing process also act as advocates in the community for a peaceful resolution to disputes and the rights of grieving parents to answers and justice.
- $12,886 spent. Straight Talk - Created for boys at risk for gang involvement and being victims of violence, Straight Talk pulls no punches in guiding participants toward self-awareness and healthy alternatives. During six consecutively running weekly sessions, participants are engaged in dialogue about what it takes to be a man, father and be successful in love and life. The curriculum includes tutoring, as needed, in reading and math, as well as hands-on training in the construction trade.
- $46,159 spent. Community Outreach - in the community we serve, Nashville Peacemakers is working to end the cycle of violence one person, one child, one family at a time.
