Overview

Mission

The carpenter's touch is a nonprofit focused on individuals rebuilding their lives and the leaders who serve their communities. We walk with ex- addicts and inmates re-entering society, and we support leaders caring for others in their organizations. Through recovery housing, mentorship, work opportunities, and practical resources, we create real pathways for people to move forward. We also partner with organizations and ministries to strengthen their leaders and expand the impact they have on their communities.

What it reported doing in 2025

Support for ministry leaders & teams-- we come alongside ministry leaders and teams by offering encouragement, prayer, and practical care that strengthens their emotional, spiritual, and ministry health. Through sabbatical housing, financial partnership, and hands-on support during mission trips, we help leaders receive rest, resources, and the servant-hearted team they need to carry out the work god has called them to. Our goal is to renew strength and bring long-term longevity to those faithfully serving their communities.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 98% 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

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of total spending goes to programs. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
