What Asheville Garage Goblins does
Mission
AVL Garage Goblins (AGG) repairs vehicles for individuals who are homeless or low income. We provide routine maintenance services such as oil changes and brake pads, and larger repairs when needed. We purchase parts if participants cannot and volunteers provide labor free of charge. We also accept donated cars, repair them into safe running condition, then give them away to folks in need of a vehicle.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2024, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2024, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars.
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
100% of ASHEVILLE GARAGE GOBLINS’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (100% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 0 of the last 2 reported years ran a deficit.
