Overview

Mission

We seek to reach out to other men from all backgrounds and all walks of life who can benefit from what we do for them to encourage them, to support them, to help to benefit and enrich their lives, and the lives of their families, ultimately to benefit the community.

What it reported doing in 2025

We ran fundraising activity for our Mortgage Principal Payoff. Payment was made from these funds including "Go Fund me" donations and funds already in our Savings Account. Our beginning savings balance at the beginning of 2025 was $23,600

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 99% 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

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and a relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work.
