Overview

Mission

Support higher education of dependents of workers in foreign countries while teaching them life skills, supporting their spiritual growth and helping them to adapt to independent life in the United States.

What it reported doing in 2024

We provide life skills, tools, adventure equipment, spiritual growth, field trips, and adaptation to life in the United States for 8 to 10 students whose parents are working in foreign countries while they attend university, at a greatly reduced cost.

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 97% 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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and assets have declined or grown slowly.
