Overview

Mission

To provide comprehensive family-centered resources that bring hope and healing to children, youth and families across Nebraska in a compassionate and caring manner.

What it reported doing in 2025

In-home family services: epworth family resources offers support and treatment for families located in the northern, central, and southeast service areas. Services can be provided for state probation and or Nebraska department of health and human services' families and youth. Our in-home services are tailored to fit the family's specific needs, goals, values, learning styles, and circumstances. Services are provided for families whose children are in imminent risk of out-of-home placement and for children who are at the point of reunification or who have been placed out-of-home but that are not ready for unsupervised home visitations. Our workers are available 24/7. Services are hourly and weekly depending on the referral's needs. The services occur within the family home.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 70% 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.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

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 program spending has declined or grown slowly.
