Overview

Mission

Gracia Missions is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization committed to supporting the ministry of Christian Camping, forming the next generation of leaders and fulfilling the Great Commission in Latin America, the United States and Canada through strategic Christian Camping partnerships and programs.

What it reported doing in 2025

Our foundation, Gracia Missions, works to communicate eternal in God through camp and recreation. We work extensively with at-risk communities in the country of Costa Rica. As well, we train young leaders to carry out our programs and, in the process, grow as people and leaders. In 2025, our non-profit foundation Gracia Missions accomplished these goals through ongoing training with our 40+ camp leaders. We managed camps with at-risk communities in the course of 2025 and collaborated with our partner ministries to bring groups from the United States and Canada, fund three-day camps for kids and teenagers, and accomplish work projects at various camps in Costa Rica.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 99% 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

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 total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
