Overview

Mission

The purpose of Freedom Youth and Family Services is to assess, provide for and support the needs of families, vulnerable children in foster care and unaccompanied

What it reported doing in 2016

Foster care licensing and assessments: this program is not operational. Zero families served in 2015

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent spending detail to tell whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filed totals do not add up and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
