Overview

Mission

Endurance offers provision through the journey of suffering. We accomplish this as we offer comfort by validating the emotional, relational, and spiritual challenges encountered on the journey of suffering. We offer encouragement through a Biblical perspective of suffering, and offer the ultimate hope found only in Jesus Christ.

What it reported doing in 2024

During the last fiscal year over 1200 encouragement gifts containing resources to encourage were sent to individuals and families. Through our website and direct email contact, we offered a weekly devotional that ministered to over 56,000 people. All the contacts received during the year are prayed over and a personalized handwritten note is sent to those individuals/families to encourage them on their journey.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Hybrid. The nonprofit split its reported program spending across 72% for direct work, and 28% for grants.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and expenses are high relative to revenue.
