Overview
Mission
We train and equip adults to walk alongside others in intentional, Christ-centered relationships. Our approach is holistic - addressing spiritual, emotional, mental, physical, relational, and professional/educational growth. Continued on Sch O.
What it reported doing in 2025
2 In addition to one-on-one mentoring, Fahrenheit provides training for individuals, churches, and like-minded leaders - both those already mentoring or discipling and those just beginning-who seek practical tools and guidance. Our mentor training emphasizes targeted, purpose-driven conversations marked by intentionality, care, and compassion within a Christ-centered framework. Training is delivered through workshops, webinars, lunch-and-learns, and our weekly podcast, and our curriculum is continually refined through practitioner input and collaboration with our volunteer mentoring team. During the reporting period, 151 leaders and emerging mentors participated in these sessions, gaining practical tools, insight, and encouragement to lead effectively in workplaces, churches, and communities. Through mentoring and training, we serve adults across a wide range of life stages who are seeking holistic growth and the ability to invest in others well.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 100% 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
MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
