Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

To create meaningful, social, and accessible volunteer experience to improve the mental wellness of the volunteer.

  • Kynd Kits are volunteer projects in a box that deliver our mission of improved mental wellness directly to our volunteers. In 2022 we shipped 80,005 volunteer projects to volunteers who built the kits and distributed them to local people or organizations in need. That equates to 80,005 volunteers participating in our programming and over 80,000 volunteer time provided to local communities.

  • In Person Volunteering: (Emilys Light, Kynd Mobile, Kynd U, Your Moment, Kynd Life) Project Helping creates and leads volunteer experiences to make it accessible for individuals to improve their mental wellness through the sense of purpose and connection that comes from serving others. In 2023, the Project Helping had 1343 volunteers participate in our in-person volunteer experiences. These volunteers provided 4,029 volunteer hours back to the community while improving their own mental wellness.

    Expenses $489,990 · Revenue -$489,990

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. 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. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
