As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, we are committed to ensuring that every action we take and every dollar we receive is used ethically and effectively to further our mission of empowering communities through education and love.

How We Use Donations
Every contribution made to The Carpenter Foundation is directed toward programs and initiatives that align with our mission. We strive to maximize the impact of every dollar by focusing on:

We are dedicated to maintaining a low administrative overhead to ensure that the majority of our funding directly benefits the communities we serve.
