Volunteer Services: Last year, we benefited from the support of 8,230 volunteers who worked 53,726 hours, the equivalent of 26 full-time employees. The Cooks for Kids program success, including an opportunity for groups to sponsor a meal and use an RMH-supplied menu and ingredients as well as daytime shifts both contributed to the increase in volunteers. In addition, expansion of individual volunteer opportunities and growth in in-kind hours assembling boxed meals, snack bags, etc. increased significantly last year.
Expenses $600,589

Family Services: The K-12 School at RMH-Oak St. provided 980 student days last year vs 909 in 2023, with most of the students in grades K-5.

During the summer, Camp RMH's busy schedule included recreational and educational outings to Twin Cities landmarks, behind-the-scenes tours of stadiums and museums, opportunities to learn new skills such as sailing and fishing, in-house days with special visitors, and more. All five locations also offered a wide variety of events and activities to parents, other caregivers and siblings including game nights, special "Caring for the Caregiver" meals, outings to local sporting events, health and wellness activities, arts and crafts experiences led by local artists, book and knitting clubs and more.

The first 25 listed. 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.
