Overview

Mission

Religious, Charitable, Educational

What it reported doing in 2025

Benevolence and Humanitarian Aid: Financial aid to individuals, foreign churches, and ministries aiding foreign congregations, refugees, and orphans. Approximately 875 people benefited from the program.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 98% 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

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of total spending goes to programs and expenses are high relative to revenue.
