Overview

Mission

Retreat assising men and women with alcohol and drug abuse and recovery through a faith-based approach.

What it reported doing in 2024

Biblical retreat wiht home-like atmosphere where an individual can experience spiritual growth along with mental, social, moral, and physical improvement skills.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
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. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
