Overview
Mission
Good Samaritan Boys Ranch is on a mission to confront the forces that push families into foster care and transform the systems that fail youth as they leave it through a spectrum of residential and community-based services that bring enrichment to youth and families in the Missouri foster care system.
What it reported doing in 2024
Over the past year, Good Samaritan's Treatment Program provided more than 300 hours of therapy to help youth in foster care heal from trauma. As the region's leader in serving youth with problematic sexual behaviors, the program helps young people overcome their past experiences and learn to build healthy relationships. Good Samaritan also operates the largest Transitional Living Program in Missouri, serving one-third of all transitional living youth statewide. In 2025, every eligible young person in our care graduated high school or earned their GED. Our Transitional Living Apartment Program additionally provided stable housing and support for 36 youth preparing to age out of foster care.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 92% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
- 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
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and most voting board members are independent. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and expenses are high relative to revenue.
