LINE 4D - OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES --------------------------------- Flourishment, India, Uganda: We believe that families must have the opportunity to flourish to see sustainable community development take place. The Flourishment Program was developed as an umbrella program that connects and streamlines Attack Poverty's work including community programs, resource centers, housing services, emergency shelters, food distributions, disaster recovery & preparedness, home repair, workplace & skill development, and social enterprise. These all act as support systems to the overall Flourishment Program. The Flourishment Program's main goal is to empower and equip individuals and families in under-resourced communities with the tools and resources (physical, spiritual, mental, and emotional) they need to break the cycle of generational poverty and flourish on their own. Instead of moving community members through isolated pre-established programs, individuals can meet with a Flourishment Specialist to establish short and long-term goals and receive support as they break down the barriers they are facing. These goals are used to develop a streamlined action plan that connects individuals to resources and provides a roadmap to navigate Attack Poverty programs. Furthermore, the Flourishment Specialist will help participants discover and understand their skills, gifts, and passions in a way that allows them to apply those in a fulfilling way. This includes but is not limited to; assisting families in meeting their basic needs; achieving economic self-sufficiency; maintaining stability in housing, employment, and finances; increasing health and safety; and accessing education and skill development. We have developed research-based models, frameworks, and strategies to ensure we walk alongside a family in a holistic and empowering way. Through our international partnerships we fund services provided in Rushere and Bukomero, Uganda and India. Rushere Christian High School, which serves students in S1-S4, aims to transform generations through holistic, Christ-centered education. This year, all 121 of their students passed their annual exams. Their partner, managing Mt. Olives Primary School, faced severe flooding in November, but with Rushere's support, they quickly set up temporary classrooms, enabling the elementary school to complete the year. By February 2024, Mt. Olives Primary School successfully relocated to higher ground and now has over 200 students, increasing parental confidence. Recovery Christian Academy (Bukomero) provides Nursery, Pre-K, K, P1, P2, P3, and P4 classes for 137 children. February was a month of celebration for our international partners. Since our primary focus in Uganda is on education and rural school development, the new school year begins in February. In Bukomero, our partner made a significant advancement by adding a Primary 4 class to the school. They mobilized local resources to build a temporary classroom for the growing number of Primary 3 students advancing from the previous year. This achievement marked a notable success in their ongoing efforts to support and expand educational opportunities. House of Love Orphanage (India) is managed by Living Stone Ministry who provides children who are orphaned shelter, food, clothes, and education, leading them to holistic development. They aim to develop children who are strong in spirit and serve the Lord as He desires them to serve His kingdom. There is a total of 66 children (boys and girls and young adults), ages 6 to 21. In August, heavy rain collapsed the outdoor kitchen at House of Love, increasing cooking costs significantly. Construction on a new kitchen started in September but faced delays and budget increases from $4,000 to $7,000 due to a site relocation. Attack Poverty helped fund the project, completing the roof in January, and the kitchen opened in March, serving 66 children and 13 staff. Additionally, with support from Attack Poverty, our partner in India was able to pay 50% of staff salaries for the first time, recognizing their years of volunteer dedication to the 66 children. 42437 UGANDA 24112 INDIA 27958 Flourishment See Schedule O for full description 94507 52410 2111789 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false true true true false false false true true false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false true 36 0 true 31 true false false false false false false false false false false false false X 8 7 false false false false false false false true true false true true true true true true true true true true false TX X X X MARGUERITE WILLIAMS 7138280916 1305 CLAY STREET RICHMOND TX 77469 BRANDON BACA CEO 7/1/23-3/04/24 45.0 0.0 X X 131383 0 13755 LYNN KRAUS BOARD MEMBER 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 NICOLAS VANN Chairman 4.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 MARGARET PATTON Secretary 1.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 ISAAC TAPIA BOARD MEMBER/PROGRAMS LIAISON 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 VON CELESTINE TREASURER 1.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 DAN WALLIN BOARD MEMBER 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 GREG MURKS BOARD MEMBER 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 131383 0 13755 1 false false false CNC Services Inc 6831 Drewlaine Fields Dr KATY TX 77449 HOME REPAIR 118653 Your Part-Time Controller 1600 Market St Ste 3425 PHILADELPHIA PA 19103 Accounting 210133 2 226585 0 5081540 34350 5308125 0 1632 1632 0 0 25490 25490 0 25490 25490 25000 25000 25000 25000 0 226585 43577 -43577 -43577 0 0 0 43272 0 43272 43272 0 5359942 68762 -16945 0 0 52410 52410 0 102803 33925 34953 33925 0 1286160 996516 203693 85951 0 145623 106861 27151 11611 99385 71286 18780 9319 0 0 0 0 0 0 513807 79385 341749 92673 19950 9275 1704 8971 25149 18245 5065 1839 0 0 206001 154533 35481 15987 33921 18014 14988 919 0 0 111401 46163 65238 0 203278 149842 52315 1121 86122 67072 13890 5160 REPAIRS & MAINTENANCE 168619 155108 12585 926 PROGRAM SUPPLIES 96523 93189 -583 3917 SPECIAL EVENTS 72016 50657 13437 7922 BANK & MERCHANT FEES 30183 2180 21255 6748 30489 7128 16679 6682 3283840 2111789 878380 293671 2928924 365427 0 0 75046 291897 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 4300 2900 52286 44958 7074609 953741 3572256 6120868 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 90085 39370 6722897 6865420 21404 207312 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 772977 1011703 0 0 3132628 556822 3927009 1775837 X 2603841 2309318 192047 2780265 2795888 5089583 6722897 6865420 2076102 217593 X X false true X true false X 3363797 4334539 3452837 1762686 5308125 18221984 0 0 3363797 4334539 3452837 1762686 5308125 18221984 4279572 13942412 24749 23216 29185 15184 27122 119456 0 68342 160065 117552 96264 43272 485495 18826935 0.74056 0.97364 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 694723 694723 5836672 558099 5278573 239882 153487 86395 261356 200179 61177 41976 41976 0 6120868 0 CREDIT CARD PAYABLE 99326 CUSTOMER DEPOSITS 28 EMPLOYEE PAYROLL LIABILITY 15072 SALES TAX PAYABLE 144 DEFERRED RENT LIABILITY 116201 REFUNDABLE ADVANCES 306647 LEASE LIABILITY 19404 556822 X 5359942 5359942 5359942 3283840 3283840 3283840 PART X, LINE 2 The Organization is exempt from federal income taxation under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"), except on net income derived from unrelated business activities as defined in the Code. Accordingly, the Organization files as a tax exempt organization. The Organization recognizes the impact of an uncertain tax position only if the position is "more-likely-than-not" of being sustained if the position were to be challenged by a taxing authority. The preparation of the Organization's various tax returns requires the use of estimates for federal and state income tax purposes. These estimates may be subjected to review by the respective taxing authorities. A revision, if any, to an estimate may result in an assessment of additional taxes, penalties and interest. At this time, a range in which the estimates may change is not quantifiable, and a change, if any, is not expected to be material. The Organization accounts for interest and penalties relating to uncertain tax positions in the current period statement of activities, as necessary; however, there are currently no uncertain tax positions. false Sub-Saharan Africa 0 0 Program Services EDUCATIONAL & MEDICAL 42437 South Asia 0 0 Program Services EDUCATIONAL & MEDICAL 24112 0 0 0 0 66549 66549 Sub-Saharan Africa Education and medical assistance 34880 WIRE South Asia Education and medical assistance 17530 ACH 1 1 false false false false false false Part 1, Line 2 The organization requires monthly reporting and monitors program activity to release funds.
