Overview

Mission

To provide ministerial leadership development to churches and womens groups.

What it reported doing in 2017

Developed and conducted a Conference (AWE Conference) offerring leadership education to over 65 attendees. Supplied venue, transportation, printed educational materials, speakers, conference materials, food and followup workbooks to all attendees.

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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and expenses are high relative to revenue.
