Overview

Mission

Be Their Voices is a nonprofit organization giving a voice to the voiceless. We are supporting, praying, and fighting for justice for any families who have lost loved ones in the jail system due to any type of neglect.

What it reported doing in 2024

Advocacy and Support - ministering to those whose beliefs align with ours, offering them contact to various media outlets to get their stories told, and we offer healing through health and wellness programming.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% 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 program spending has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
