Overview

Mission

Interfaith sanctuary is a collaboration of people of faith and people of goodwill who provide shelter and services to the homeless. We provide overnight shelter for men, women, and children, and supportive services to promote greater self-sufficiency, well-being, and permanent housing acquisition.

What it reported doing in 2024

Emergency shelter - provides overnight shelter for up to 165 people from 6pm to 7am, with light dinners provided by life's kitchen and the Idaho food bank. Single men and women have separate sleeping and bathing in the shelter with common dining and social area, which is located outside when possible due to covid. Families with children, medically fragile and seniors are currently located at a hotel in order to maintain social distancing as part of the covid protocol.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and some filed totals do not add up.
