What it says it does

Since 2019, Maintenance for Moms has been dedicated to assisting single moms by providing free vehicle repairs in Santa Clara County. We have grown from a dream to a nonprofit organization. We built a team and developed an easy process for single moms to apply for free vehicle repair. We have also purchased several new cars and donated vehicles to moms whose vehicles were not worth repairing. This year we have had 152 applications, repaired 67 cars, purchased 2 new/used cars and ended the fiscal year with no applications in process.

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.
