Overview

Mission

Our organization teams up with families and other local organizations to help fight juvenile mental illness. We provide a safe space and use equine assisted learning to help kids find hope, purpose and leave encouraged. Our goal is that every child would know the love of Jesus. Our services are free of charge to all families in need. We rely on donations from members in our community.

What it reported doing in 2023

We provided equine assisted learning to children who were struggling with mental health issues. We provided individual weekly sessions, some multiple times per week. With the use of equine, we helped them work through fears, discover their strengths and heal emotionally. We encouraged them and assisted in the beginning steps to take action on their purpose.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 98% 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. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
