Overview

Mission

Our mission is to restore families and communities through trauma-informed care. Our holistic approach encompasses mindfulness, personal accountability, imaginative play, and life-skills development.

What it reported doing in 2024

KERITH KIDS is a weekly mentoring program designed for the specific needs of children struggling with the incarceration of family members. It helps members form a healthy vision for their life, learn life skills, and gain confidence. My Club members start practicing leadership right away by helping direct the activities of the club itself. Our 2024-2025 program mentored over 26 youth throughout the year.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% 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 - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and assets have declined or grown slowly.
