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)
- $70,490 spent. During the year, our organization advanced its charitable mission to empower minority communities by delivering programs focused on education, economic opportunity, violence prevention, and access to health resources. We provided community outreach and case support services for individuals facing employment barriers due to limited education or minor justice-system involvement. Through workshops and mentorship initiatives, we assisted individuals in developing job-readiness skills, connecting with employers, and pursuing vocational opportunities. As a result, participants reported increased employment confidence and job placements. To support youth in underserved neighborhoods, we facilitated educational support and recreational programs designed to deter crime and reduce violence. Activities included tutoring, mentorship, sports events, and positive peer-engagement activities, which fostered leadership, confidence, and community responsibility among participants. We conducted community awareness campaigns and events focused on substance-use education, opioid-misuse prevention, and access to behavioral-health resources. We also engaged in advocacy and community-building efforts to promote equity, cultural inclusivity, and social empowerment for immigrant and African-American populations. These programs helped reduce social isolation, strengthen family support networks, and increase access to community resources.
