Hoops to Hope
Public records show a registered, tax-exempt organization in good standing.
What it says it does
We provide community enhancement through support of children and families. We focus on getting young people involved in organized activities believing they learn life skills that lead to better decision making. Towards that end we pay registration fees purchase equipment clothing footwear. We also realize there needs to be a stable home environment for them to thrive so we provide rent and utility assistance. We also buy groceries and other household needs and have recently even begun to help people get health insurance.

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.
