Overview

Mission

Religious. CCA provides a community of solidarity and network of support for people of faith working for social, economic and ecological justice in Appalachia.

What it reported doing in 2025

A Prophetic Voice - celebration of the 50th anniversary of the publication of "This Land Is Home to Me," & the subsequent Appalachian pastoral letters "At Home in the Web of Life" & "The Telling Takes Us Home." Activities included anniversary gathering and publication of a Three Pastorals book.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 98% 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 program spending has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and liabilities are high compared with assets.
