Mission and programs · 2023

• Basic Needs/Food Network:Basic Needs/Food Network helps households who may have to choose between staying housed and feeding their families. We have 16 pantries that provide basic food staples and necessities that help people weather times of crisis and regain stability. Those in need can acquire other resources specific to their demographic such as essential household necessities and clothing.

  Expenses $7,016,724 · Grants $6,789,058

• Homelessness Prevention/Vincentian Services: Homelessness Prevention/Vincentian services involves providing emergency financial assistance with rent, utilities, medical, transportation and other needs to prevent homelessness. Key to this is the personal encounter between our Vincentian volunteers and the family experiencing a crisis, which is often conducted through a home visit. It is in these encounters that we listen and learn the true needs of the family, provide financial assistance to address their needs, and render emotional and spiritual support to humanize the experience. Continued on Schedule O. In our ministry we learn to identify the issues critical to people living in poverty while raising awareness so communities and elected representatives can develop strategies aimed at reducing or eliminating poverty.

  Expenses $5,257,234 · Grants $4,469,086

• Underserved Communities: The Underserved Communities Initiative includes a grant funding program with the goal to create healthy and vibrant Conferences serving at-risk and distressed areas of Galveston-Houston. This program was designed utilizing the Distressed Communities Index (DCI) tool, which contains seven metrics to capture distinct aspects of economic distress -- education, housing, unemployment, employment instability, poverty rate, income ratio, and business growth. Often these communities have the greatest need but are limited in resources. This program is intended to build both human and financial capacity in areas that have been historically forgotten. Continued on Schedule O. Financial assistance is provided by these Conferences to individuals needing assistance with housing, utilities, and other emergency assistance to prevent homelessness.

  Expenses $815,860 · Grants $695,000

• Disaster Services: Disaster Services assist in helping individuals and families recover from what can be a devastating and life-altering loss. Although the Society is not a first responder in a disaster, its network of regional Conferences collaborates and often dispatches volunteers to disaster areas once the location has been secured and is safe to enter. The Society assists in the process of getting people back to some sense of normalcy. To this end, the Society works to provide financial assistance and basic needs in terms of food, clothing, and furniture or other home goods that may need to be replaced in the event of a natural disaster.

  Expenses $185,372 · Grants $168,434

• Resiliency: The Resiliency program includes Bridges Out of Poverty and the nationally known "Getting Ahead in a Just-Gettin-By World" (Getting Ahead). Phase I of the programs consist of a 16-week incentivized program that helps improve people's lives by assessing their own lives and circumstances and developing tools and skills as part of their move from crisis to self-sufficiency. Getting Ahead participants create their own plan to build more sustainable lives, healthy relationships with community members, short- and long-term goals, and step-by-step plans to achieve those goals. Once participants complete Phase I, they accelerate into Phase II, the Graduate program and are partnered with mentors to elevate their comprehension of financial budgeting and negotiation skills. Learning how to cope with daily life challenges and building the hope that's needed for a better future enables them to advance to the final phase, the Alumni program. Discovering how the right relationships can be a powerful aid to help people along the journey out of poverty, participants become ambassadors for the Society by becoming actively involved in sharing and promoting the success of the program as well as becoming mentors and program facilitators.

As filed on the 2023 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here.

Officers and directors · 2023

As listed in Part VII of the 2023 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. 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.

Grants made
