What it reported doing in 2024
Offered 7 public retreats, 52 weekly blog articles, 16 quarterly public collective gatherings, 63 weekly prayer gatherings, and new downloadable prayer resources. Reached over 2,000 individuals across these offerings in FY2025. This was the totality of operations in FY2025 and as such all organizational expenses were aligned to those offerings.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 73% 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.
