Overview
Mission
To bring sustainable and holistic change to urban areas
What it reported doing in 2024
Barefoot Mission exists to bring sustainable and holistic change to urban areas through a ministry of presence. The Barefoot Mission believes there is power in removing your shoes, standing barefoot in a place, and recognizing that where we stand is holy. If we begin to see our neighborhoods as holy, we believe we will fight for them in such a way. Barefoot Mission partnered with Avenue of Life to house 24 homeless youth in Wyandotte County during 2021, providing job training services and education. The organization also partnered with a local church to launch a wellness center for the community. We have over 20 weekly volunteers that serve in our various progams. A building was purchased and renovated in 2021 to open the Grounded Sole Coffeehouse in 2022, with the goal of providing a space that welcomes all, provides job training for local young adults, and uses resources to serve the community. This program is thriving and is open to our community Tuesday-Saturday and has many people to serve. We are able to use the space to host countless community events. Over 800 volunteer hours were donated to assist with renovations, as well as providing other services to the community like tutoring and creating Thanksgiving baskets.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 83% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 99% 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 - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of total spending goes to programs. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and expenses are high relative to revenue.
