Overview

Mission

We are a faith based ministry that seeks to share the love of christ to those who are often forgotten. We strive to give single parents of all backgrounds, races, and gender the support, encouragement, and life skills they need to be the parents god has planned them to be.

What it reported doing in 2024

Expenses incurred to assist young adults with parenting skills and providing supplies necessary for providing a healthy living environment for newborn children.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 100% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
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 program spending has grown recently. A relatively small share of voting board members are independent and a relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work.
