This fund will be used to assist families to remain a family unit with effective parenting strategies with age-appropiate expectations. Parents will learn how to nurture their families.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence and expenses are high relative to revenue.
