Overview

Mission

A social service agency providing family support services for the restoration and unification of household members of "at risk"

What it reported doing in 2018

The organization works with families to address insecurities, decision making skills, parenting, relationships, coping skills and meeting the very basic mental, physical, and emotional needs of the family unit. They work with families to examine their priorities and to set goals that uphold the family value system, resulting in families that positively impact the community.

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
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 - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
