What Giving Hearts Initiative does
Mission
To raise funds to assist local families in need
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
Program
Created a space to bring the community together to make a difference and celebrate the sweet rewards of helping others by bringing locally-made confections from across the metro-east and st. Louis areas to one convenient edwardsville location. All proceeds from the sale of sourced items will help families and individuals by funding various community impact projects, and introducing the first-of-its kind community co-op commercial kitchen.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2023, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2023, 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 2023 to 2024, from $611k to $471k (−23%).
