Overview
Mission
Family Missions Company sends out lay Catholic families and singles to proclaim Jesus Christ and His Gospel to the poor! Upon cancellation less than 14 days from the trip start date,** we will be unable to provide any refunds for Trip Fees paid in excess of the non-refundable deposit amount. “Prime Time” Refunds Our most popular times for mission trips typically occur during popular vacation times. We refer to these times as “Prime Time” slots. These times include the Spring break months of March and April, the summer months of June, July, and August, the Thanksgiving breaks in November, and the Christmas season (trips overlapping with the last week of December and first week of January). Because your booking and subsequent cancellation in most cases will prevent us from being able to send other people on miss.

Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 87% 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
SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and most voting board members are independent. The filing reports few safeguards for money sent abroad and the filing does not identify recipients for some grant dollars.
