Overview

Mission

Bethel mission is a faith-based organization that exists to support and empower youth and families in the putnam community. We promote job security, food security, school preparedness, health and safety for members of the community struggling with poverty. We strive to strengthen the sense of community and share the love of jesus.

What it reported doing in 2025

Bethel's after-school program serves children k-12 from the local community and school districts. Activities include: a hot meal, homework help, arts/crafts, and other educational and spiritual development. The program invites many outside resources to work directly with the children in areas of reading, gardening, music, money management, cooking, etc. Children also get a chance to engage directly with the community garden located at bethel. Volunteers, children enrolled in bethel's programming, and community members all get a chance to participate in all the work that goes into a garden, as well as benefiting from the produce it generates. Bethel summer programming incorporates many of the activities that happen during the after-school program, in addition to giving the children an opportunity to engage in outdoor activities, swimming, cooking out, etc. We also include focused bible lesson time.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 84% 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

STRONG - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Expenses are high relative to revenue and assets have declined or grown slowly.
