Our vision is to equip future leaders to change cycles of poverty in their environments through healing, hope and community empowerment. In everything we do, and in every interaction with those we serve, we will encourage these three things: resilience, empowerment and hope. We value cultural competency and letting local leaders lead. We value staff health and happiness. We value patience and allowing everyone to learn along their own journey. We value inclusiveness for all, regardless of race, gender, age or religion, that all must be equally valued and offered service to. We value patience and a constant state of growing, creativity, curiosity and passion. We value integrity and fierce open communication, to always pursue truth, transparency and honest. 7 7 0 200 0 0 218896 17467 0 0 0 236363 0 0 16450 0 11834 94710 0 111160 0 125203 0 129264 0 4061 0 125203 Our mission is to provide opportunities for eduction, well-being, self-sufficiency and healing to resilient communities and individuals facing challenges of poverty and lack of family support. 0 0 34978 0 5822 Leadership and Professional Development: We are equipping future leaders to change cycles of poverty in their environments through business skills including marketing, budgeting, English, making artisan crafts and more. Locally and internationally, the entrepreneurs in our programs receive small business loans, business plan training, and mentorship to be able to achieve financial independence. We require our entrepreneurs to create a business plan and support them through the process. We host weekly business skills and English classes on topics such as product and cost analysis, budgeting, bookkeeping and financial statement basics. After an initial contribution from the entrepreneurs, we provide supplies, training and support in creating their products. We educate and support the entrepreneurs in finding a market for their products. The Aloe Family Marketplace, a separate for-profit entity, exists as an additional customer to purchase and sell artisans products with 100 percent of the proceeds going back into the programs of the Aloe Family. As of December 31, 2023, we had 11 entrepreneurs participating in our program at various beginning stages of their businesses. Some of the key performance indicators that we used to measure success of this program at this time are business class attendance rate, completion rate, participation rate, and retention rate. During 2022, we raised funds for and began construction on a workshop for one of our entrepreneurs and anticipate completion in the first half of 2023. We began the process of acquiring a house to serve as lodging for our volunteers in this program and to host our business and English classes, as well as any entrepreneur meetings and training sessions. At the "Aloe House," entrepreneurs will have free access to resources such as computers, printers, and other supplies necessary to help them develop their businesses. 29764 23980 5822 Community and Education Support: We believe that education is the key to positive futures. In Nashville, the majority of children we serve are immigrants and refugees. We seek to remove the language barrier that is a persistent challenge for them in their education. Without English-speaking parents at home, we strive to provide sufficient and competent education aid and empower them to learn English and feel supported. We offer twice weekly homework help for the students and, once weekly, free English classes for the adults in our program. Each Saturday, we host a "community day," during which we provide educational games, health and wellness classes and life skills groups that focus on gratitude, self-care, safety and hope. We also provide food for the children and support for their parents. Our weekly community day is focused on education and relationship building in the community. In Mexico, we are acquiring the "Aloe House'' which will not only house students in need, but also act as a free resource for students in the community with access to computers, printers and school supplies. For students without access to school, we offer tutoring and reading support on a weekly basis. Within the community, we provide needed food and supplies to local children's homes and immigrant shelters. As of December 31, 2022, we served an average of 10 children in Nashville during our weekday homework help sessions, with an average of 6 volunteers and staff. We partnered with the children's schools to gain access to their online portal which shares topics that the children are focusing on each week. With this knowledge, we were able to tailor the content we provided so that it directly related to their school work. Our students were given an assessment in August 2022 and reassessed quarterly, showing a 5% increase in their scores. We will continue to reassess on a quarterly basis to measure academic improvement. Additionally, their schools have reported an increase in school attendance of the children in our tutoring program, with over half having perfect attendance for the last quarter. Our adult English classes were attended by an average of 8 students each week, with 2 volunteers and/or staff. Community days were attended by an average of 27 people within the community, with an average of 12 volunteers each week. 17666 0 5822 Many of the families we serve struggle financially making health, wellness, and self-care an afterthought rather than a priority. Additionally, many of them have endured significant trauma in their lives. We believe that we cannot truly support the communities and individuals we serve without also addressing these physical and mental needs. We strive to provide trauma-informed environments and plan to eventually offer counseling services through our partners. Currently, through partnerships with local nonprofits and grocery stores, we ensure that those we serve are educated and have access to healthy food in order to prevent illnesses and malnutrition. In Nashville each Sunday, we distributed free, fresh groceries to an average of 39 families (an average of 174 individuals) weekly and totaling over 22,000 pounds of food in 2022. Each Saturday, we host a "community day," during which we provide educational games, health and wellness classes and life skills groups that focus on gratitude, self-care, safety and hope. We also provide food for the children and support for their parents. In the first half of 2023, we plan to provide weekly fitness opportunities through volunteers and local partnerships. 0 0 0 82408 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 7 7 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 TN X X The Aloe Family 6159130877 1706 Martin St Nashville TN 37203 X Kristin Francis Board Chair/President 5 0 X X 0 0 0 Eliot Wilking Treasurer 3.00 0 X X 0 0 0 Colin O'Grady Secretary 1.00 0 X X 0 0 0 Teri Jo Fletcher Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Josh Durham Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Tommy Bethel Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Jeffrey Ford Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Natalie Hennessy Executive Director 60.00 0 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 25681 1107 0 192108 0 218896 Payment made for Volunteer Travel and Accommodations 721199 17467 17467 0 0 0 0 0 0 17467 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 18735 0 236363 17467 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 16064 4994 11070 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 386 0 386 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1923 0 1273 650 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 700 0 700 0 6042 0 372 5670 740 0 740 0 2110 203 1907 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 26597 26110 0 487 0 0 0 0 515 0 515 0 0 0 0 2714 2282 0 432 467 467 0 0 470 0 470 0 Cost of Fundraising Transactions 4461 381 0 4080 Program Expenses (Supplies, Materials, Tools and Other) 28718 28718 0 0 Benevolence and Food for Program Participants 3264 3264 0 0 Mexico Operations (Rent, Utilities and Labor) 15610 15610 0 0 379 379 111160 82408 16918 11834 0 100230 0 0 0 16501 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 13000 467 0 12533 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 129264 0 4061 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 4061 X 0 0 0 0 0 125203 0 125203 0 129264 125203 0 0 0 0 0 X 0 0 0 X 236364 236364 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 236364 236364 154970 81394 0 0 0 0 0 0 236364 6945 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 13000 0 467 12533 12533 Schedule D, Part VI, Line 1e The Aloe Family acquired a truck in August 2022 and a van in December 2022, which are essential in performing our program services in Mexico. We transport volunteer teams to and from service projects, program participants to and from our programs, and carry supplies, materials, and tools for all of our programs. We are depreciating these vehicles over a 5 year (60 month) life. Central America and the Caribbean 0 3 Program Services We provide program services in San Luis Rio Colorado, Mexico, in accordance with our organization's mission and values. We host weekly business and English classes for entrepreneurs, teaching business basics, providing one-on-one support and job skills training, access to computers and technology to help their business thrive, and, in some cases, construct a business space for them. We have partnered with local schools and nonprofit organizations to provide support to children and teens without access to schooling. We provide weekly tutoring and reading instruction, as well as supplies and support to families. We provide food and clothing to local immigrant shelters and children's home. In 2022, we had three contractors in San Luis that worked with us and we led four groups of volunteers from the U.S. to assist with projects. We began planning for renovations on a house to provide lodging for our volunteers and to host our classes and tutoring sessions. 62151 0 3 62151 0 0 0 0 0 0 Anthony Firkser Football Camp 5198 0 5198 0 119 0 0 0 872 Dayclub Charity Golf Tournament 17220 17220 0 0 213 0 0 0 355 0 22418 17220 5198 0 332 0 0 0 1227 1559 3639 Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 9 Kristin Francis, Board Chair/President, 3810 14th St S, Arlington, VA 22204-5042.
