Overview
Mission
A Christ-centered, residential program that assists men to recover from chemical addiction, develop a relationship with God through Christian discipleship, learn marketable skills through job training, and transition back into society successfully.
What it reported doing in 2024
(624310) Marketable skills training programs were in effect for the purpose of helping the men become proficient in the areas of carpentry, painting, landscaping, and/or basic home remodeling projects so they were able to transition to gainful employment after the program successfully. (Vocational Rehabilitation Services) Program participants will learn a skilled trade along the way and leadership trainees will learn to supervise job sites. Part of leadership development is teaching the men to interact with with the general public in quoting, budgeting, scheduling, and executing various work projects with the utmost excellence and integrity. Many graduates are now running their own businesses in Spartanburg County.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 99% 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
SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. The filing does not identify recipients for some grant dollars and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
