Overview
Mission
Our mission is to help young adults see that their work is meaningful and we do that through a nine-month experience.
What it reported doing in 2024
Fellows program - We provide a nine-month fellowship program each year for fellows from the Indianapolis community to help them see that their work is meaningful. The program is focused on the following key areas of professional development, personal development and civic engagement: theologically rooted, community focused, relationally connected, personally formative, culturally relevant.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 61% 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
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.
