Overview
Mission
The primary mission of Embracing Purpose Ministry is to advance the cause of Christianity by teaching women, including marginalized women, and women who are incarcerated, how to discover their unique God-given gifts, talents and Christ-centered Kingdom purposes and then how they can activate those gifts, talents, and purposes for the Kingdom of God by serving people in their local, state, regional and global communities. The primary resources used by Embracing Purpose Ministry are two study workbooks, i.e., "Embracing Purpose Self-Discovery Workbook" for free-world women and "Embracing Purpose On the Inside and Beyond" for incarcerated women. The primary methods used to teach these concepts are group classes taught by trained volunteers. These classes are either taught in-person or virtually via Zoom for free-world women. All classes for incarcerated women are taught in-person inside the incarceration facility.
What it reported doing in 2021
Teaching "Embracing Purpose" course supplies and services for Incarcerated Women
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 89% 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
STRONG - 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 reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
