Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF LIFE IN HAYWOOD COUNTY BY UNITING COMMUNITY VOLUNTEER FUNDING EFFORTS.

  • AGENCY ALLOCATION - THE DISTRIBUTION OF MONIES TO MEMBER AGENCIES, INCLUDING DONOR DESIGNATIONS AND SPECIFIC SERVICES PROVIDED TO MEMBER ORGANIZATIONS. PLEASE SEE 990 SCHEDULE I FOR DETAILS.

    Expenses $278,850 · Grants $240,045

  • COMMUNITY PROBLEM SOLVING - THE ANNUAL DAY OF CARING FOR SPECIFIC COMMUNITY WIDE PROJECTS AS WELL AS OTHER GENERAL SERVICES PERFORMED IN THE COMMUNITY. DAY OF CARING BEGAN IN 1997 WITH 15 PROJECTS AND 75 VOLUNTEERS, AND HAS SINCE EXPANDED TO 30 PROJECTS AND APPROXIMATELY 325 VOLUNTEERS. THESE PROJECTS INCLUDE HOME REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE, SUCH AS PAINTING, YARD WORK, AND BUILDING ACCESS RAMPS. THE MISSION OF THE DAY OF CARING IS TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR ELDERLY AND DISABLED RESIDENTS BY IMPROVING SAFETY AND LIVING CONDITIONS IN THEIR HOME. - DAY OF CARING DETAILS - IN APRIL, WE ASK AGENCIES SUCH AS THE HAYWOOD COUNTY HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES AND MOUNTAIN PROJECTS TO NAME PEOPLE WHO MIGHT BENEFIT FROM A DAY OF CARING PROJECT. THE AGENCIES DETERMINE IF THERE IS TRUE FINANCIAL NEED. THE ORGANIZATION ASKS LOCAL COMPANIES TO LOAN EMPLOYEES FOR THE DAY TO COMPLETE THESE PROJECTS. IT IS A GOOD TEAM BUILDING EXERCISE FOR EMPLOYEES TO SPEND A DAY OUTSIDE THE NORMAL WORK ENVIRONMENT. THE ORGANIZATION WILL MATCH THE VOLUNTEERS WITH PROJECTS BASED ON THEIR SKILL LEVEL. THE LEADER OF THE TEAM GOES OUT TO THE PROJECT ABOUT A MONTH BEFORE DAY OF CARING AND MAKES A MATERIALS LIST. THIS LIST IS GIVEN TO VOLUNTEERS WHO GATHER THE MATERIALS AND SUPPLIES NEEDED TO COMPLETE THE JOB. SOME MATERIALS ARE DONATED. FUNDS FOR DAY OF CARING ARE BUDGETED ALONG WITH OTHER AGENCY SUPPORT. TODAY, WE HAVE 30 PROJECTS AROUND HAYWOOD COUNTY DONE BY APPROXIMATELY 325 VOLUNTEERS. SOME OF THESE PROJECTS INCLUDE PROVIDING FIREWOOD TO INDIVIDUALS, PRESSURE WASHING, PAINTING, KOOLSEALING AND UNDERPINNING. WE ARE DOING SOME SIMPLE PLUMBING, A LOT OF CLEANING AND YARD WORK, BUILDING ACCESS RAMPS AND REPACKAGING PRODUCTS FOR MANNA FOOD BANK. DAY OF CARING IS AN EXCITING DAY

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. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

Other IRS files

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
