Overview
Mission
It isn’t good news if it gives joy to one person and inflicts harm on another.
What it reported doing in 2024
Ministry outreach through online retreats, writings, spiritual direction as well as speaking and consulting with religious organizations. 37,982 persons served.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 67% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- 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
MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and program spending has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
