Overview

Mission

We are a Christian organization whose mission is to help people who are willing to make life changes toward personal accountability, financial independence, and healthy social relationships. We also provide material needs for individuals through the voucher grant program.

What it reported doing in 2024

The Voucher Grant program is a great way to not only reach the needs of those in our community but also to partner with community agencies and ministries working with individuals and families in need. The grant program provides Hope Center thrift store vouchers to community agencies and ministries who in turn pass them on to people with specific needs. The individual is then able to come in to the Hope Center and purchase the needed items using the voucher.

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 99% 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 voting board members are independent and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
