Mission

To serve Jesus Christ by providing compassionate care through evidence- based parenting education and womens health services at no cost to our clients.

What it reported doing in 2024

BARTOW FAMILY RESOURCES has been serving our community since 1989. Our Parenting Academy walks alongside families until their baby is 2 yrs old. Through our services, families receive parenting classes, mentoring, and assistance with diapers, wipes, formula and other essential baby needs. We accomplish this through our learn-to-earn incentivized program, geared to serve the at-risk community, free of charge.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 95% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 85% 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. The filing does not identify recipients for some grant dollars and the filing reports few safeguards for money sent abroad.
