Mission and programs · 2024
Mission
The Great North Pole's mission is to work with local non-profits and community partnerships to help children and families in need in the counties of Cass & Clay. We believe that every child should have the opportunity to experience the joy of Christmas and the holiday season.
Activities or mission (Part I)
To help families in need by providing basic needs and gifts during the Christmas season.
-
In 2024 The Great North Pole offered Helpful Holiday Boxes to 856 families living in Cass County, ND and Clay County, MN.The Great North Pole provides information on their program to local schools and other non-profits within their area. For example, children that are part of the free or reduced meal program would be provided information on the program. There is then an application process to "opt-in" to the receipt of the Helpful Holiday Boxes.By creating invaluable local and national corporate relationships and strong community partnerships the Great North Pole multiplies many times over the original monetary donations made and turning those funds into retail goods. By stretching every dollar further, it allows us to help more families in need and provide not only basic needs to our community members, but also winter wear and gifts to the children of these families.

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.
