WHILE OUR 2025 YEAR-END FINANCIALS REFLECT AN 12,000 BUDGET DEFICIT, THIS RESULT REFLECTS INTENTIONAL OPERATIONAL AND FUNDRAISING ADJUSTMENTS MADE DURING THE YEAR. THE ORGANIZATION EXPENDED APPROXIMATELY 14,000 IN GRANT FUNDS RECEIVED IN 2024, AS PLANNED. IN RESPONSE TO THE PRIOR YEAR'S DEFICIT, HANDS4HOPE REDUCED EXPENSES, SCALED BACK PROGRAMMING IN AREAS WITH LIMITED COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT, AND RESTRUCTURED ITS FUNDRAISING CALENDAR TO IMPROVE LONG-TERM SUSTAINABILITY. THIS INCLUDED MOVING ONE MAJOR FUNDRAISER FROM FALL 2025 TO SPRING 2026 AND DISCONTINUING ANOTHER, RESULTING IN LOWER REVENUE IN 2025 DUE TO TIMING. DESPITE THESE IMPACTS, THE ORGANIZATION MAINTAINED STRONG FINANCIAL DISCIPLINE AND SUCCESSFULLY RESTORED ITS OPERATING RESERVES TO ITS TARGET OF SIX MONTHS OF EXPENSES AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2025.

VOLUNTEERING ALMOST EVERY MONTH HAS MADE ME MORE GRATEFUL FOR WHAT I HAVE AND HELPED ME UNDERSTAND HOW LUCKY I AM. HAVING A HOUSE, WARM CLOTHING, CLEAN WATER, AND FOOD IS SOMETHING I DON'T TAKE FOR GRANTED ANYMORE.
