What it reported doing in 2025

Raket - Just Mercy built aa house built a house with a LARGE cistern under it so the community now has water which is caught off the roof of the house. It also houses a lady and her three children who were homeless. It is kind of a community center where we often cook and feed many of the families there.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% 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

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and program spending has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
