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 (2)
- Gap Fund Program GFP: To equip transition-age youth for sustainable personal achievement EightFifteen works with fostered and formerly fostered youth in the Pittsburgh area to help them build the stable relationships skills and resources necessary for them to succeed once they have transitioned out of care. The program is open to youth ages 16-25 who are currently in foster care or who have previously been in care as a teen 13-19. Once admitted to the program each youth is matched with a team of volunteer coaches who provide relational permanency and support for them. Youth and coaches meet weekly to receive training on goal-setting and team-building skills then each participant and their coach work together to create goals specific to the needs and interests of each youth. For participating in the program each youth accrues available funds which can be used for qualifying expenses as needed. 11 youth and 18 volunteer coaches participated in the GFP during 2023.
- Resource Family Support Program RFSP: In order to provide fostered teens with safe and loving homes EightFifteen works through local churches in the Pittsburgh area to recruit and support families willing to foster or adopt children with a special emphasis on children over the age of ten. EightFifteen volunteers provide support for foster kinship and adoptive families caring for these older children in order to ensure that they have everything that they need and to mitigate concerns or constraints that might otherwise prevent them from being able to foster or adopt. EightFifteen has partnered with licensed foster care and adoption agencies that will provide training and certification for new resource parents interested in fostering or adopting teens.
