Overview

Mission

Impact has been blessed to continually meet yearly budget needs, and has filled staff and incoming student spots each year because of the grace that the Lord has continually poured out. As the Mission Statement says, Impact seeks to glorify the Lord in every aspect of its existence by serving the incoming class and showing them their first glimpse of the body of Christ in Bryan and College Station. Prayer has always been and continues to be the backbone of this ministry, and our Ministry Fair is a major tool used to get incoming students plugged into local churches and organizations.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 64% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
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 expenses are high relative to revenue.
