Overview
Mission
Relief of the distressed by providing Christ-centered support, resources, education, and assistance to individuals and families grieving the death of a loved one.
What it reported doing in 2025
Grief support and community care. Created the Sunflower Wellness Room at local public high school serving approximately 1000 students; hosted special holiday gathering for bereaved individuals with approximately 50 people in attendance; and launched a new bereaved parents support group in the fourth quarter with four committed participants.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 88% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 87% 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 - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of total spending goes to programs. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
