Empowering Lives, Creating Bright Futures
Life throws curveballs. Sometimes they knock us down. But here's what we know: you don't have to get back up alone.
​
Making Miracles Happen Foundation exists for moments like these, when you need more than good wishes, when you need real help, right now. We're the neighbors who show up. The community that rallies. The people who believe your next chapter can be your strongest one yet.
What We Do
We connect people facing tough times with the tools and resources they need to move forward. Not handouts, but hand-ups. The kind of support that helps you rebuild on your own terms and reclaim your independence.
Who We Are
We're a team that runs on compassion and stubborn hope. We've seen what's possible when people are given a real chance, and we've made it our mission to create those chances every single day.
​
Because everyone deserves a shot at stability. At dignity. At writing their own comeback story.
​
That's not just charity. That's community, and you're part of it.
Meet the Heart Behind the Mission
The people who show up, every single time.
We're a small but mighty team, and that's exactly how we like it. It means when you reach out, you're not getting lost in a system, you're connecting with real people who genuinely care. These are some of the faces behind the foundation, the ones answering your calls, problem-solving on the fly, and walking alongside you until you're back on solid ground.
How We Make a Difference
At Making Miracles Happen Foundation, we believe strong communities are built one connection at a time. Our services are designed to strengthen the fabric of neighborhoods and empower entire communities to thrive together.
Here's how we help:
Financial Assistance
We partner with community organizations and local leaders to provide financial support for critical needs like housing programs, utility assistance funds, transportation initiatives, and healthcare access. By addressing these essentials at a community level, we create stability that lifts everyone up.
Daily Living Support
We work with neighborhood groups, faith communities, and local volunteers to organize support networks—from community meal programs and grocery co-ops to volunteer companion services. When neighbors help neighbors, everyone's daily life becomes more manageable.
Resource Connections
Navigating available resources shouldn't be a solo journey. We collaborate with community centers, local organizations, and government programs to create clear pathways to support—making it easier for entire communities to access the services they need.
Customized Plans
Every community has its own unique strengths and challenges. That's why we work closely with local leaders, residents, and organizations to develop tailored strategies that address what matters most to the people who live there.
Emergency Relief
When crisis strikes a community—whether it's a natural disaster, economic hardship, or unexpected tragedy—we respond. Each situation is carefully evaluated so we can mobilize the right resources and support networks when they're needed most.

Understanding Nonprofits
What is a nonprofit organization?
A nonprofit is an organization that exists to serve a community or cause rather than to make a profit. Any money we receive goes right back into our mission—supporting communities and creating positive change. We're driven by purpose, not profit.
​
How is a nonprofit different from a for-profit business?
While businesses aim to generate profit for owners and shareholders, nonprofits reinvest all revenue back into their programs and mission. We're accountable to the communities we serve and operate under special tax-exempt status because of our charitable work.
​
What does "tax-exempt" mean?
As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, Making Miracles Happen Foundation doesn't pay federal income tax on donations and revenue related to our mission. This status also means your donations to us are tax-deductible, giving you a benefit for supporting our work.
​
What is a 501(c)(3)?
That's the IRS designation for charitable organizations. It means we've been recognized as a tax-exempt public charity, and donations to us can be deducted from your taxable income. You'll see this number on our donation receipts.
​
Who runs a nonprofit organization?
Nonprofits are governed by a Board of Directors—volunteers who provide oversight and strategic direction. Day-to-day operations are managed by staff and supported by volunteers. Everyone works together toward the same mission.
​
Do nonprofit employees get paid?
Yes! While board members typically serve as volunteers, many nonprofits have paid staff who bring professional expertise to the mission. Fair compensation helps us attract talented, dedicated people who make our programs successful. Staff salaries are modest and mission-focused.
​
How do nonprofits make money if they don't earn profit?
Great question! We generate revenue through donations, grants from foundations and government, fundraising events, corporate sponsorships, and sometimes fee-based services. All money goes toward fulfilling our mission and covering operational costs.
​
What are "administrative costs" or "overhead"?
These are the expenses needed to keep the organization running—things like rent, utilities, accounting, insurance, and staff salaries. While some overhead is necessary for any organization to function, we keep these costs minimal so the majority of funds go directly to programs.
​
How can I verify a nonprofit is legitimate?
You can look up any nonprofit on sites like GuideStar, Charity Navigator, or the IRS Tax Exempt Organization Search. These show our tax filings, financial health, and transparency. We're also happy to provide our annual reports and financial statements directly.
​
About Charitable Giving
​
What does "tax-deductible donation" mean?
When you donate to a 501(c)(3) nonprofit like ours, you can subtract that amount from your taxable income when you file taxes. For example, if you donate $100, you won't pay taxes on that $100 of your income. It's a way the government encourages charitable giving.
​
Do I need to itemize my taxes to deduct donations?
Typically yes, you'll need to itemize deductions rather than take the standard deduction. However, tax laws change, so check with a tax professional about current rules. We'll always provide proper documentation for your records.
​
What's the difference between a donation and a grant?
Donations typically come from individuals who give any amount to support our mission. Grants are usually larger awards from foundations, corporations, or government agencies, often designated for specific programs or projects.
​
Can I donate items instead of money?
Yes! In-kind donations (goods and services) are valuable too. Depending on what you donate and its value, these may also be tax-deductible. We'll provide documentation for significant in-kind contributions.
​
​
Nonprofit Operations
​
What is a Board of Directors?
A Board of Directors is a group of volunteers who provide governance, oversight, and strategic direction for the nonprofit. They ensure we stay true to our mission, manage finances responsibly, and operate ethically and legally.
​
What's an annual report?
It's a yearly summary of our activities, impact, finances, and goals. Annual reports show donors, partners, and the community what we accomplished and where we're headed. Ours is available on our website.
​
Do nonprofits pay taxes?
We're exempt from federal income tax, but we may still pay certain taxes like payroll taxes for employees, sales tax on purchases, and property taxes (though some states offer exemptions). Our tax-exempt status applies specifically to income related to our charitable mission.
​
How are nonprofits held accountable?
We're accountable to our Board of Directors, donors, the IRS (through annual Form 990 filings), state regulators, and the communities we serve. We embrace transparency because trust is everything.
​
What is Form 990?
It's an annual information return that nonprofits file with the IRS, showing our finances, programs, governance, and operations. It's public record, and you can view any nonprofit's 990 online through sites like GuideStar or ProPublica's Nonprofit Explorer.
​
Getting Involved with Nonprofits
​
Why do nonprofits need volunteers?
Volunteers multiply our impact! They bring skills, energy, and passion that allow us to serve more people and stretch every dollar further. Many nonprofits simply couldn't exist without volunteer support.
​
What's a nonprofit advocate or ambassador?
These are passionate supporters who spread awareness about our mission—sharing our work on social media, talking to friends and family, attending events, and helping recruit volunteers and donors. They're champions for our cause.
​
Can I serve on a nonprofit board?
Many nonprofits welcome community members to their boards! Board service requires a time commitment and often fiduciary responsibility, but it's a meaningful way to make a difference. If you're interested, reach out—we can discuss opportunities or point you toward board training resources.
