Overview

Mission

Arrow Child & Family Ministries has worked alongside youth and families to provide the support, resources and opportunities they need to thrive.

What it reported doing in 2024

Arrow provides hope to children who have difficulty in public school settings or need a tailored approach by providing specialized education services. Placements and referrals are usually made by the public school district. The child may be able to transition to public school. However, in the event that is not in the best interest of the child, arrow's specialized education programs allows children to remain until age 18 or 25 (in the case of tangram's school for those youth with autism).

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 97% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and most voting board members are independent. Few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence and expenses are high relative to revenue.
