What Pattons Purpose Inc does
Mission
The corporation's purpose is to provide opportunities for differently abled and/or socioeconomically disadvantaged individuals to engage in meaningful activities that build life skills and inspire confidence so they may live more independent and productive lives. In addition, the corporation will support the service mission of haywood vocational opportunities, inc., a north carolina non-profit corporation ("hvo"). However, the corporation shall not provide funds for the ordinary operating expenses of hvo except where those expenses are directly connected to the provision of services to the persons described in the first sentence. By way of illustration, the corporation will not provide funds to hvo for its manufacturing operations or to make up deficits incurred by hvo in those manufacturing operations.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
The organization will financially support haywood vocational opportunities inc. (ein 56-1651554), a sec. 501(c)(3) public charity formed in 1989 that provides training for handicapped and disabled persons centered in haywood county, north carolina. The organization may also support other, similar public charity organizations in the future, per its bylaws. Primary functions of the activity will be conducted by the organization's volunteer board of directors. The board of directors will spend approximately a few hours each week devoted to the organization--this is estimated to be less than 10 percent of their time each. The office and primary location of the activity will be 150 westwood cir, waynesville, nc. Funding for the activity will be provided through donations from the general public, along with a starting seed donation from haywood vocational opportunities inc, and fundraisers conducted by the organization's volunteers in accordance with the charitable solicitation guidelines of the state of north carolina.

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 $2.0M to $2.1M (+2%).
How it's funded, over time
