Mission

Invest in people experiencing poverty to build generational prosperity.

  • Head Start:Federal Head Start grants are the largest source of funding for the Organization, comprising approximately 43% of total revenue for the year ended September 30, 2025. Head Start and Early Head Start services provide comprehensive early childhood education and family services to families with children birth through five years. The program promotes school readiness through educational, health, nutritional, social and parent services to children birth through five of their families. During the calendar year, approximately 1,478 families were served.

    Expenses $22,964,962 · Grants $1,184,593 · Revenue $4,317,808

  • Energy Assistance:Energy Assistance is a health and safety program funded by the federal government's Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) grant contract which helps with utility bill payments, crisis intervention when utility service shut off is imminent, advocacy for utility consumer rights, and referrals to other support programs. Approximately 20,050 households were served during the program year through heat and crisis assistance.

    Expenses $1,762,515

  • Energy Conservation:Energy Conservation and Weatherization program activities are supported by funding from the U.S. Departments of Energy and Health and Human Services, plus utility conservation improvement program funds. The program performs energy audits on single and multifamily dwellings for low-income owners and renters, utilizing specialized staff which uses the latest energy conservation tools and techniques to perform the work. Work includes performing energy audits; repairing and replacing mechanical systems; and insulating and air sealing homes. 248 homes received either standalone or full audit services by the CAPRW Weatherization team in 2025.

    Expenses $4,593,787 · Grants $120,053 · Revenue $377,731

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. 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.
