What Lou's Helping Hand Foundation does
Mission
Our mission is to serve the underprivileged staten island families in our community. We are committed to keeping the kids and teens off the street by offering programs and events in sports and arts. We provide opportunities to which the less fortunate would not easily have access. We organize collections for nonperishable food, pet food, and basic necessities (jackets, blankets, clothes, and toiletries) to distribute for the homeless at the ferry and people in our community that are in need.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 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 $5k to $53k (+943%).
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 LOU'S HELPING HAND FOUNDATION’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (100% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 4 of the last 6 reported years ran a deficit.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $165 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.
