Overview
Mission
To create sacred spaces where lay Christian pilgrims find rest and renewal individuals deepen their spiritual journey and community is fostered through works of mercy offered to people in all stages of life.
What it reported doing in 2025
The second primary activity for GALA in 2025 was to identify a property for use near Assisi Italy. A property was identified. GALA at first intended to purchase the property itself but lacked sufficient funds. GALA received an inspection report and estimates on costs to renovate the property. Then a donor offered to purchase the property and let GALA use it via a rental agreement. The purchase transaction and rental agreement are expected in 2026.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 100% 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
MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
