We're a nonprofit funded by people who trust us. Here's the full picture of how money comes in and how it's spent — published openly.
In 2025 we raised $22,026 to fund our work — through community fundraising events and direct donations:
Those events raised $2.33 for every $1 they cost to run. Of what we then spend operating the organization, here is how it divides between programs and administration. Helping Hands is run entirely by volunteers — no one draws a salary.
Programs vs. administration, out of operating spending. The cost of fundraising is counted separately above, since those events raise far more than they cost.
Of the funds spent directly on programs in 2025, here is how they were divided across our areas of work.
Program services totaled $6,563.99 in 2025. Project POSO and Project RICE had no separate program spending recorded in 2025; see Our Missions for each program's all-time totals.
