Community fund - during the current year we had events, including a holiday fund, in which we provided funds for meals and gifts to families in need during thanksgiving and christmas. We also sponsored meals in the community to help those who temporarily lost wic benefits. During christmas, mountain strong hosted and had volunteers staff an event that raised funds for toys and gift cards donated by local businesses. The event also provided food for the community. Other projects included community assistance for blue ridge elementary to ensure that each child was able to purchase a book at their annual book fair; sponsorship for cane river middle school for a field trip; assistance with a trip for students to attend the national future business leaders of america; purchase of youth league sports equipment that had been lost in hurricane helene; partnership with child advocacy center to sponsor children that needed to be moved to a different home by providing clothing and other basic needs

Individual donations and grants were received in order to complete certain projects. Completed projects included: drilling a well for an individual who lost water access; a new hvac system for one that was destroyed by the storm; purchase of an atv to allow an elderly individual to access their property after their bridge washed away; and purchase and upfit of a car for a handicapped individual. The hurricane also showed mountain strong the critical need in the community to provide immediate health care needs. We saw a huge need going forward and started work in 2025 on developing a free clinic in the community to provide healthcare for the underserved. Initial costs incurred in 2025 for this project include leasing and office, purchase of a medical exam table, and filing forms with the north carolina free clinic association

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. 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 $287k to $305k (+6%).
How it's funded, over time
