Sexually transmitted infections (sti)testing and information provided to encourage sexual risk avoidance. Healthy relationship and sexual risk avoidance groups offered at schools and church youth groups, but no group classes have been held since covid in 2020.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 70% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The program-spending lines do not add up, so the filing cannot show reliably whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
