Mission and programs · 2024
Mission
The Giving Spirits mission is to provide essential support, compassion, and human connection to individuals experiencing homelessness while educating the broader community about the causes, challenges, and solutions surrounding homelessness.
-
The Giving Spirit delivers large-scale outreach programs focused on providing essential survival items to unhoused individuals across Los Angeles. Outreach efforts target key populations including individuals lacking basic care, women and girls, homeless LAUSD students, and companion animals owned by people experiencing homelessness. Volunteers assemble and distribute comprehensive care kits while receiving educational briefings on homelessness during event programming. These initiatives provide critical resources and foster community awareness and engagement.
Expenses $590,058 · Grants $257,004
-
The organizations education program creates transformative learning experiences designed to deepen public understanding of homelessness. This includes: (1) live educational sessions integrated into outreach events; (2) production of video content addressing homelessness, outreach practices, and lived-experience stories; and (3) development of an online digital curriculum for schools and eventually corporations and broader audiences. A beta module on Homeless Youth is currently in review and testing. These programs equip communities with knowledge to drive informed action and long-term solutions.
Expenses $84,520
-
The Youth Council is a structured leadership program for high school students selected annually from across Los Angeles. Under staff guidance, council members meet monthly to study homelessness, set service goals, and lead outreach activities designed to support unhoused individuals. The program develops socially conscious young leaders while strengthening community service efforts and encouraging long-term civic engagement.

On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
