What they do
In Our Very Early States of Being Conceived and Birthed As A First Time Nonprofit Organization We Were Able to Acquire Our Tax-exempt Status With The IRS, We Acquired Out Solicitation License Through The State of NC, and We Were Able to Begin to Apply for Grants As A Newly Established Organization. Due to Being New and Not Quite Sure of How to Go About Filling Out for Grant Monies, We Werent Able to Acquire Monies We Applied for But We Were Able to Learn From Our Experience and Continue to Move Forward In Forming Connections and Partnerships With Other Similar Organizations In Our Surrounding Areas and Create Public Awareness.
Should I give to this charity?
This record may have an IRS status problem. Do not give until you verify it.
Plain answer: A tax form cannot prove that a charity is doing good. It can show how the charity says it spent its money—and point out questions you should ask.

Money made simple
Ask these three easy questions
- Who did you help? Ask for a recent story or report that shows real results.
- What will my money do? Ask exactly what your gift will pay for.
- Is this really the charity? Give only through its official website or confirmed phone number.
Worth asking: Expenses exceeded revenue by $3,415 this year. Ask whether that was planned or caused by a one-time event.
Bottom line: Do not decide from a name, mission statement, or tax status alone. Look at where the money went, then ask what changed, who was helped, and what your gift will do. YouCanGiveBack does not endorse or grade organizations.
