Overview
Mission
To provide a spiritual, life-changing, and empowering environment where recovering addicts can discover their god given potential, establish a healthy intentional lifestyle, master life skills, and become self- sufficient.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 67% 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. Liabilities are high compared with assets.
