Mission

Lift One Up is a non-profit organization that inspires, encourages, and empowers women to reach their full potential. We lift up the spiritual, emotional, and psychological well-being of individuals one step at a time. The original mission of Life One Up (LOU) was to help those defined by their current or past challenges as they attempted to navigate through the complex issues of their present. Today, LOU has become so much more. One's issues or challenges are not a prerequisite or a determining factor in our willingness to invest in the lives of others, women of all demographics, and today's youth. Providing a clear-cut pathway filled with hope and a defined purpose for all of our participants is our goal. LOU believes it is not how you start in life; it is how you finish it that matters most!

Each tax year counts once: when a return was amended, only the latest return for that period is used below (superseded returns stay listed, greyed, under Finances).

Highest-paid independent contractors

No independent contractors reported.

Who gave

Contributor names are not public for this form type.

Public charities filing Form 990 or 990-EZ report large donors on Schedule B, but the IRS withholds their names and addresses from public copies. Private foundations (990-PF) are different: their contributors are public.

Finances

Newest first. Each filing: its name on one row, its figures on the row beneath. Greyed filings are superseded by a later return for the same period and are left out everywhere else on this page.

Where the money went

Every expense line on each return, biggest first: Form 990 Part IX (with its program, management and fundraising columns), 990-EZ Part I, or 990-PF Part I. Event marks lines the organization itself describes as events. “Events” in each summary adds those lines, conferences and meetings, and the direct costs of fundraising events. Unusual is not the same as improper. Many of these patterns have ordinary explanations. Check the filing.
