Overview

Mission

The Center assists people in the Kansas City metro to explore and deepen their relationhip with God by utilizing the spirit of St. Francis Loyola, the founder of the Society of Jesus and the developer of the Spiritual Exercises in Everyday Life.

What it reported doing in 2024

Spiritual Exercises in Everday Life - a 9 month one on one individually guided prayer experience. 17 people of varied faiths participated.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 89% 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

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
