API's Realities of Poverty Education Programs include group discussions, panels, and tours of places in downtown Asheville a homeless person might visit in a day. Groups can include schools, colleges, churches, civic groups, or interested individuals. The programs are led by our Poverty Educators, giving voice and leadership opportunities to people with life experiences of poverty to educate others as to the causes and challenges of poverty. This program was re-started in October 2023 with a dedicated coordinator and provided 3 programs to 22 participants in October and November. 12 Baskets Caf also provides hosted meeting space for community groups outside of food serving hours. Affinity groups include people creating art and music, sharing creative writings, playing chess, discussing important local topics, or just watching a movie together. Started in September, this program quickly grew to 30 meetings per month. 162314 true true false false false false false false false false true false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 1 0 7 true false false false false false false false false false false false false X 7 7 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true false false true false false NC X Philip A Leonard 8284581704 33 E Owl Creek Lane Fairview NC 28730 X Kimberleigh Wells Board Chair 10.00 X X 0 0 0 Philip Leonard Treasurer 20.00 X X 0 0 0 Bill Buchanan Secretary 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Melissa Harris Board Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 TJ Amos Board Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 Steve Leventer Board Member 20.00 X 0 0 0 Michael Poulos Board Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 false false false 705 210012 13143 210717 Program Income 624230 600 0 0 600 4920 0 4920 705 1103 1426 -323 -323 Miscellaneous 999999 308 0 0 308 308 216222 600 0 4905 4500 4500 93397 78454 2802 12141 7145 5859 500 786 1880 0 1880 0 10556 1054 9502 0 564 423 0 141 3253 1940 519 794 4002 2426 985 591 41656 39721 1935 0 718 575 143 0 855 25 830 0 5279 5279 0 0 3411 2558 853 0 Program Supplies 6600 6271 329 0 Fundraising Expenses 298 0 0 298 In Kind Donations Utilized 13143 13143 0 0 Miscellaneous 390 86 304 0 197647 162314 20582 14751 43844 71484 176192 171082 6570 11064 225 300 300 494 544 30109 18087 17301 12022 2883 1867 247584 268588 4889 7318 4889 7318 X 136241 155635 106454 105635 242695 261270 247584 268588 18575 X false false false X 0 164544 309184 134039 169716 210717 988200 0 0 164544 309184 134039 169716 210717 988200 22975 965225 776 531 381 1226 4920 7834 0 2786 1273 605 252 308 5224 1001258 59957 0.96400 0.99030 X 0 0 0 Pt II Ln 10 Other Income Part II, Line 10 Description: Gaming 2019: 2786. 2020: 1273. 2021: 0. 2022: 0.
