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 (1)
- $4,178 spent. Since 2018, Purple Swans and the Mental Health Association in New Jersey (MHANJ) have jointly hosted a series of Youth Mental Health First Aid programs. Through a full-day certified training course, experienced instructors provided hands-on guidance on how to support stressed youth. The program continues to be highly rated by 100% of participants. Beginning in 2022, QPR (Question, Persuade, Refer) youth suicide prevention trainings were added to offer more targeted support. Continuing this important tradition, we hosted two additional mental health training sessions in September and December 2024, marking our 6th and 7th Youth Mental Health First Aid programs. On December 13, 2024, NASDAQ honored Purple Swans on its iconic Times Square billboards, celebrating our 10 years of dedication to cultural exchange and mental health advocacy. Our tradition of performing for senior centers also resumed. On June 8, 2024, we visited Summit Senior Center to celebrate Mother's Day and Father's Day, where our performance was warmly received. In 2024, we performed across multiple towns for Lunar New Year celebrations, including Millburn, Summit, Livingston, and Westfield. We also performed on May 2, 2024 at the Pingry Asian Heritage Celebration and on September 15, 2024 at the Millburn Moon Festival Gala. We also began preparations for our once-every-three-year charity gala, scheduled for 2025.
