Overview

Mission

We fight alongside our neighbors as we climb together from poverty to prosperity through pathways that cultivate economic, relational, and spiritual wholeness. We mistakenly thought that providing relief in the form of food, clothing, backpacks, computer labs, Christmas gifts, and turkey dinners was the solution. Truthfully, the system that created conditions which caused poverty to spread needed expensive love. We were convicted by the thought that the biblical idea of justice was helping the neighbor until the need was completely met. The Nonprofit Emerges In 2012, we began merging all of the ministries into a separate community development non-profit with its own board and staff. Instead of helping thousands, we focused on 19 families with the promise that if they put in the work, we would do all we could to not just help them in poverty, but to.

What it reported doing in 2024

Crosspurpose was formed in 2013 to assist families living in poverty to remove the barriers in their lives (such as inadequate education, poor support network, inability to navigate the system) that are keeping them from emerging out of poverty and becoming self-sufficient. Crosspurpose provides training, support, and connections to a network of other nonprofit partners (such as educational and employment opportunities) to support program participants in their journey out of poverty. The mission of crosspurpose is to abolish relational, economic, and spiritual poverty through career and community development.(continued on schedule o)launch: launch is an online career readiness program designed specifically for snap recipients who are looking to start the journey towards a better career.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 66% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 94% 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.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of total spending goes to programs. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
