Overview

Mission

A religious organization to help and assist with individuals who need help with physical and spiritual needs. To help find their purpose in life and to empower them by teaching them.

What it reported doing in 2023

The MakeRight Makeover Program is dedicated to honoring and enhancing the lives of individuals within the community who consistently go above and beyond in their service to others. Our program recognizes these selfless individuals by providing them with professional makeovers, along with education on grooming and self-care, empowering them to look and feel their best every day.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 94% 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.
