Overview

Mission

Residential Faith-based drug and alcohol recovery.

What it reported doing in 2024

A faith-based drug and alcohol program that provides mentoring, schooling, and work training. Our goal is to create an environment where a student can become physically, spiritually, mentally, and socially healthy.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The program-spending lines do not add up, so the filing cannot show reliably whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.

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.
