Overview

Mission

Social service organization engaged in the following activities: drug addiction rehab, counseling services to single women, youth and preganancy crisis intervention, and providing affordable housing to low and moderate income families.

What it reported doing in 2024

Compassion (franklin elementary)- this year we have focused on helping individuals and families move from surviving to thriving! We have adopted a local elementary school and have partnered with the principal and faculty in order to reach students and their families. Several students have come into our asp because of this. The first day of school we gave the students pencil cases and pencils. For christmas, we provided lunch for 40 faculty members and provided presents to 260 children. They in turn have had student groups come out and do our community meal and collected food for our food pantry. We are seeing relationship built and changed lives as a result of this partnership.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 92% 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.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and program spending has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
