FORM 990, PART I, LINE 19 REVENUE LESS EXPENSES HANDS4HOPE IS COMMITTED TO FINANCIAL TRANSPARENCY AND RESPONSIBLE STEWARDSHIP OF DONOR FUNDS. 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. THIS MODEST DEFICIT REFLECTS A STRATEGIC TRANSITION YEAR, POSITIONING HANDS4HOPE FOR IMPROVED FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE AND CONTINUED RESERVE STRENGTH IN 2026 AND BEYOND. |

THROUGH THESE OPPORTUNITIES AND INTERACTIONS WITH THOSE IN NEED IN OUR COMMUNITY, THE YOUTH PARTICIPANTS LEARN TO BE SOCIALLY RESPONSIBLE. 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. HELPING FAMILIES AT THE WINTER BOUTIQUE AND SERVING AT UPPER ROOM HAS SHOWN ME HOW IMPORTANT IT IS TO GIVE BACK. IT MAKES ME WANT TO VOLUNTEER AS MUCH AS I CAN."
