Mission and programs · 2024
Mission
Our mission is to transform the lives of children and adults through community programs in the Coachella Valley. We help children, seniors, assault survivors, and military families.
-
OPERATION SCHOOL BELL: Through Operation School Bell, new school clothes, shoes, hygiene kits, backpacks, and supplies are distributed to disadvantaged students attending public schools in the Coachella Valley. In 2023-24, the chapter provided new school clothes, shoes, and hygiene supplies to 4,450 disadvantaged students attending 46 schools in three school districts. In 2024-2025 the chapter provided new school clothes, shoes, and hygiene supplies to 4,398 disadvantaged students attending 49 schools in three school districts. Additional students were reached through program expansion including distributing backpacks and school supplies, supplying middle school and high school students with clothing, and hygiene items, as well as providing bedding, warm clothing and hygiene and school supplies to students from homeless situations. Additional clothing and supplies were purchased for inventory, enabling school administrators to distribute items throughout the school year as needs arose including the arrival of refugee and migrant students. Through a partnership with school nurses, 1,500 hygiene kits in 2023-2024 and 1,400 hygiene kits in 2024-2025 were provided to school nurses. The kits were used as teaching tools in Growth and Development classes for 5th graders and then distributed to students. The program expanded in the Coachella Valley Unified School District by providing the district wellness centers with clothing, hygiene and menstrual items, snacks, and sensory items. This program impacted 1,000 students in its initial two months of operation during 2023-2024 and impacted 2,665 students during the twelve months of 2024-2025.
Expenses $333,698
-
FRANK MOSS SCHOLARSHIP FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS: Assistance League supports public high school students by providing financial assistance to enable them to pursue their area of interest in the performing arts (vocal music, instrumental music, dance, theatre). Financial assistance is provided for use while the student is in high school. Funding can be for a broad range of services or purchases. Including private lessons, classes, and purchase of equipment or supplies. In 2023-24, 65 high school students received assistance with 49 students receiving assistance of $48,000 in 2024-2025. Program participants improve their performing arts skills, develop more confidence, and are better prepared to thrive in the future including more college opportunities.
Expenses $40,444
-
WE CARE FOCUS ON MILITARY FAMILIES: Our Assistance League chapter provides support to military families stationed at the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center Twentynine Palms. Annually, we host a Baby Shower luncheon for expectant mothers, both active-duty military personnel and spouses of active-duty personnel. Carefully selected gifts worth approximately $800 are distributed to each participating mother-to-be. Thirty mothers were honored in April 2025 and twenty-five mothers-to-be were honored in 2024 at this event. The shower is Assistance League's way to thank military families for their service and a way to support mothers-to be who may be far from home during an exciting yet challenging stage of their lives.
Expenses $27,821
-
SENIOR SERVICES PROGRAM: Through the senior services program, the chapter provides companionship, sponsors entertainment, and supplies clothing and incidentals to disadvantaged Coachella Valley nursing home residents. Musicians contracted by the chapter performed for residents at four low-income nursing homes in 2023-2024 with an additional nursing home added in 2024-2025. Chapter volunteers visited nursing homes, providing companionship to residents. Clothing, footwear, lap blankets and holiday gifts were distributed to residents. Games, puzzles, and reading materials were also distributed to residents. Over 600 seniors benefited from the program.
Expenses $20,080
-
TEDDY BEAR PROGRAM: A new stand-alone program was started as an outgrowth of services provided in Operation School Bell, Senior Services and Assault survivor program in 2024-2025. We have received commitments from several community agencies (fire department, police departments, health care agencies).
Expenses $13,028
-
ASSAULT SURVIVOR PROGRAM: A new program was created to help survivors of assault and abuse. The chapter collaborated with Partners Against Violence, a nonprofit organization that assists victims of sexual assault and violent crimes, to supply assault survivor kits. One hundred kits, consisting of pants, shirts, undergarments, footwear, a teddy bear, and a note of compassion, were assembled by chapter volunteers for distribution to assault victims as they are discharged from medical facilities. The kits are intended to preserve the survivor?s dignity by providing them with needed items since victim clothing is typically retained by law enforcement personnel for forensic evidence. Kits with a variety of sizes for women, men and children were provided. The chapter also collaborated with the Barbara Sinatra Children?s Center. Clothing and hygiene supplies were provided for distribution to victims of child abuse and neglect.

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.
