Overview

Mission

To offer educational and religious conferences, workshops, and other programs.

What it reported doing in 2025

Our programs offer educational and religious conferences, workshops, and and other programs to extend the blessings of learning beyond the traditional classroom, to develop individuals of faith, intellect, and character who have the skills and the desire to continue learning and to serve others throughout their lives.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 100% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
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 - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of voting board members are independent and few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence.
