Overview

Mission

Exodus.life exists to reduce drug and alcohol related recidivism in the state of Arkansas through pre-release education and equipping, transitional peer support and recovery to post release family reunification and community restoration.

What it reported doing in 2024

Exodus.life continues to be one of the first funded rco (recovery community organizations) in the state of Arkansas. Through our rco, exodus.life reduces the corresponding community stigma associated with substance abuse disorder and justice involvement through educating the public, engaging community partners, advocating to policy makers, and the use of technology. Exodus.life provides peer recovery support services to individuals and their families who are struggling with these challenges, assisting them as they become purpose driven, productive, and stable members of society. Through the rco, exodus.life provides many recovery groups and pro social events that allow individuals in recovery to build positive, stable community connection.

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 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

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
