Overview
Mission
To build a strong & vibrant collaboration in our city between all the varied church communities, helping agencies, federal, state, and local government agencies, the private sector, schools, and all civic community groups. This enables us to achieve our goal of transforming the city of little rock into a true "model community", one which will impact every facet of life in every home and neighborhood in our city. As part of that effort we provide temporary employment services to those who have been released from a treatment facility and wish to begin a new life. Many of our temporary employees have become full time employees of the employers where they previously worked part-time.
What it reported doing in 2024
Provide temporary employment to individuals who had voluntarily entered into some type of treatment program to work to serve as our employees in providing services to business owners who are convicted to give such persons a second chance. Several of these temporary employees have since transitioned to become full-time employees in those businesses. Provide general benevolence to individuals particularly those affected by tornado in little rock.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 85% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 85% 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. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
