Mission and programs · 2025

Mission

Our mission is to model the love of Jesus in overlooked communities who deserve freedom from negative cycles.

Activities or mission (Part I)

Provide meals, school supplies, tutoring and other resources for families.

  • Health Initiative Program provides nutritional education to children and how to see their worth through nutrition. It also educates them on recognizing proteins, vegetables, and good carbohydrates versus bad carbohydrates. This program also provides cooking classes to the students and families to show them substitutions they can make in their every day living to make better choices that will help them continue to get healthier. This program also provides cooked meal on a continuous basis to families who need them.

    Expenses $38,522

  • The Tutoring Program provides an opportunity for students to receive help with school work and structured assignments through an i-Ready program. This program helps them to assess their current reading comprehension level and allow us to make curriculum specific to each child to help better their reading comprehension levels. We also provide snacks during the tutoring time that currently meets two times a week.

    Expenses $120,659

  • Neighborhood Initiative provides community and small group activities in the community. This program is meant to be a relational opportunity to provide families resources, whether is is connection to a job or trade school. We also help them if they have a need such as counseling services.

    Expenses $20,029

As filed on the 2025 return.

Officers and directors · 2025

As listed in Part VII of the 2025 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

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.

The Abandon Project

As filed, from the IRS e-Postcard file of 2 November 2026. The IRS publishes only each organization's most recent postcard, so earlier years are not shown. A 990-N carries no financial detail. The postcard also gives the principal officer's address, which is not shown here.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Grants received

The 10 largest by cash amount. The API serves every itemized grant.

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.
