Overview

Mission

The felician center seeks to be a transforming presence through compassionate ministry, education, health services and christ-like loving care.

What it reported doing in 2024

The felician center sponsors learning adventures, which has replaced the formal after school program since covid. The local public school has reorganized its after school program with an improved format and so more children participate in public school after school programs. This resulted in decreased attendance at the felician center after-school program. Thus, felician center started offering learning adventures for children as of january 2023. The program meets once per month. The program offers educational themes for black history month, math, working with money, science, holidays, etc. Small stipends are offered to volunteers to assist. Approximately 180 students participated annually. In addition to the learning adventures program, felician center continues to respond to shifting needs in local public-school systems, arrivals of legal immigrants, and local community outreach. Monies are spent on immigrant professional teachers and their families to support basic needs. Additional monies are spent for donations to community youth group mission trips, vital aging senior citizen programs, christmas shoebox project (providing basic clothing, toiletries, and gifts), residential disability toiletries and significant holiday assistance. Approximately 50 area families are assisted in this capacity. Lastly, felician center offered an education program to the neighbors on thorne avenue (neighborhood forum). This program included food and takeaway items. Between 15-20 people attended the programs every other month during fiscal year 2025.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 83% 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.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

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.
