Overview

Mission

Arukah's mission is to teach and advocate for men struggling with homelessness after living through profound circumstances that threatens their ability to grow and flourish in life

What it reported doing in 2024

Arukah envisions "arukah transitional homes" in every city in the bay area and throughout California. Arukah's goal is to give men the opportunity to become better men physically, relationally, emotionally and spiritually which will in turn help them become better fathers, husbands, sons, friends and employees.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 63% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
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 the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of voting board members are independent and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
