Overview
Mission
To help those in the poverty community, realize their worth as image bearing children of god, by developing their gifting so they can do what they were created to do. In doing so, this organization shall be operated exclusively for purposes allowed an exempt organization under 501(c)(3) of the IRS Code.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
- 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.
