Overview

Mission

Men of Courage Foundation exists to encourage men to be leaders, husbands, and dads by equipping individuals and organizations with inspiring and educational resources. Our vision is to help men succeed at being the man they were always meant to be.

What it reported doing in 2025

The Men of Courage Foundation Utilizes technological landscape by using our website and social media platforms to reach men with our message and these serve as relationship building tools to connect the 6% of men who are engaged in ongoing christian discipleship with the 94% of men who are not. We desire to assist men with moving past conversations only about news, weather and sports and on to win in the key areas of life, as fathers, husbands, and leaders. In 2021, our money and time was mostly spent on our website blog content, youversion devotionals, charters and social media communications to further our mission.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 95% 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 - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of voting board members are independent and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
