Programs
Program Service Accomplishments: In 2022, Claus Cares, despite its recent formation in April, focused on laying the foundation for its community support initiatives. The organization's primary activities included: - Planning and Setting Up Support Services: Began preparations to establish a clothing and item closet to provide free goods to individuals in need. The goal is to create a resource hub where community members can access clothing, household items, and other essential support. - Community Engagement and Fundraising: Initiated engagement with local businesses and planned fundraising events to generate support and awareness for Claus Cares' mission. Fundraising activities include monthly events where a portion of proceeds are donated to the organization. Although operational activities are in the early stages, Claus Cares is committed to building a robust system for supporting the community and is actively working towards achieving its mission of improving the quality of life for individuals in need.

This initiative aimed to support individuals and families in need by providing essential items. Currently operated out of house with intent to rent a building in the future. The closet helped numerous individuals by providing them with clothing, household goods, and other necessities. Tracking systems were set up to manage and distribute these items effectively. Fundraising and Community Engagement: Held a series of fundraising events, including a notable event on 02/06/2023, which raised $277.50. The funds collected supported the operations and services of Claus Cares. The fundraising events not only generated essential funds but also increased community awareness and engagement with Claus Cares.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2022, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2022, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2024 to 2025, from $115 to $502 (+337%).
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 CLAUS CARES’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (95% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 1 of the last 4 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
Grant support over time, funder by funder — shade shows the grant size each year.
1 of 1 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 100% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of CLAUS CARES’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Where its funders are
100% of CLAUS CARES's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Too little is directly attributable to place on a map.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $23 arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
