Ethos California sponsors educational workshops bringing in nationally known speakers delivering practical information that help guide young adults, especially high school teens, in making informed decisions concerning their interpersonal relationships that reflect dignity and respect for themselves and others.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 95% 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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
