EAGLE VALLEY COMMUNITY FOUNDATION

EIN 47-1915583 · Community Foundations (T31)

What they do

to CONNECT PEOPLE WITH COMMUNITY RESOURCES for ACCESS to NOURISHMENT, WELLNESS, and GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES, CREATING TRUSTED PROGRAMS and RESPONSIVE SOLUTIONS WHILE EMBRACING INDIVIDUAL DIGNITY. UNLIKE TRADITIONAL COMMUNITY FOUNDATIONS, WE DELIVER DIRECT SERVICES THROUGH THREE CORE PROGRAMS: THE COMMUNITY MARKET, MIRA, and ELEVAR. THESE INITIATIVES PROVIDE ESSENTIAL FOOD, HEALTH, and RESOURCE SUPPORT to UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES WHILE ALSO PROVIDING LEADERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES for LONG-TERM COMMUNITY CAPACITY. AT EVCF, WE ENSURE THAT NO ONE IN OUR COMMUNITY MUST CHOOSE BETWEEN PAYING BILLS and FEEDING THEIR FAMILY or ACCESSING BASIC HUMAN SERVICES.

A plain-language look at the latest Form 990 figures available. These numbers help you ask better questions; they do not, by themselves, rate whether a charity is good or bad.

How each $100 of revenue was used

The large number compares each expense with revenue. The smaller number shows its share of total expenses.

Gray means reported revenue left after expenses for this filing year. It does not necessarily mean cash sitting in a bank account.

Has the pattern changed?

Colored bars = expense mix: how each year’s expenses were divided. Total expenses vs. revenue shows whether the charity spent less or more than it received. The current filing is first.
