What it reported doing in 2024

Family promise of missoula program provides temporary and emergency shelter, related services and nurturing support to families with children experiencing homelessness and to assist them with obtaining safe and permanent housing. Family promise co-manages and co-operates the meadowlark family housing center. Family promise sheltered and served 358 people at the family housing center: 162 adults, 196 children with 84 children under 5 years old. 9,100 meals were provided and served by family promise 5 days a week. As part of stabilization, 64 families received a welcome basket containing household necessities, cleaning items and gift cards upon being housed outside of the family housing center.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 73% 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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
