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)
- $34,000 spent. Health & Wellness: We believe that when people have access to healthcare, they are better equipped to take care of themselves and their families. We work to help marginalized groups access health and wellness providers to get the resources they need. Our team works directly with the health and wellness providers to identify groups that are typically underserved, such as low-income adults, seniors, people living with disabilities, and LGBTQQIA+ individuals.
- $19,500 spent. Education & Growth: We provide scholarships for Self- development, and education. We believe these types of programs are necessary for creating and just and equitable world for the underserved marginalized. In order to live a quality life, people have the right to self-development and education. Self-development is learning about yourself, what you want out of life, and how to achieve those goals. Education will help provide a more equal world for those who are marginalized. Education provides a platform for individuals to grow and be their best selves. It also helps create a world where all people can pursue their dreams no matter who they are or what they believe in.
- $42,000 spent. Community Enrichment Program: In order to build a better world, we need to engage with our communities. We want to connect with people from different backgrounds and cultures in order to promote resilience and understanding. Through scholarships, we offer access for marginalize groups to be seen and heard. We support artist and thoughts leaders in spreading the message of diversity.
