Overview

Mission

Christian organization bringing dignity and hope to exploited individuals.

What it reported doing in 2017

Firm Foundation-Childrens Health allows families to bring their children to see the doctor or nurse and receive medicine they need to get healthy so they may return to school. We also offer a food program as part of the Firm Foundation-Childrens Health. 2870 children benefited from this program.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
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 the filed numbers largely add up. The required major-donor schedule is missing or incomplete and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
