Overview

Mission

Mission Indy Exists to: Equip Christians to Serve Others Significant activities include hosting groups of youth and adults while leading them to do service work for low income people and families through our partners in the greater Indianapolis area. The groups take the training and motivation experienced at MI back home to serve the neighbors they live around wherever they are from.

What it reported doing in 2025

Summer Program We worked with several church groups and involved them doing such things as painting houses, doing minor demolition, building retaining walls etc.

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.

The verdict

MIXED - 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 a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
