Overview
Mission
Kadasa is a public benefit corporation working to protect children from trafficking and exploitation. We work to increase public awareness, to provide care for victims, and to collaborate with our partner organizations to help survivors recover and rebuild their lives.
What it reported doing in 2025
The rapha 1 program(r1p) approved by our directors fulfills our mission to collaborate with our partner organizations to help survivors recover and rebuild their lives. We have donated 45,000 to rapha international, a Missouri 501(c)(3), to build entry-way and privacy fencing at rapha's hope and healing center in joplin, mo. The fencing was completed in december 2025.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 99% 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.
