Overview
Mission
The mission of the corporation is to use the talents and life experiences of mentors to influence and train youth to be succussful physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. The corporation seeks to teach life skills through hands on work at its facilities and to build character that will equip young people to lead productive lives and to enable them to contribute positively to society.
What it reported doing in 2024
Buckheart Ministries provides services to youth who are in many different crisis situations at home. We take kids and begin getting them caught up in school. We help them direct their lives in a positive direction rather than the self destructive path they were going down when they are referred to us. We also begin working with the parents and adults in the kids' lives to try and repair the home that they are from so the kids have a safe, positive and healthy environment to return to after they are ready to return home. This year our organization has impacted the lives of kids and family members in our community as well as the surrounding community.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
- 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. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
