Overview

Mission

To equip, connect, and mobilize christians to serve vulnerable children and families.

What it reported doing in 2025

The family preservation ministry focuses on keeping biological families together. Most times, other organizations refer families on the verge of foster care to our family preservation ministry, where we provide a 90 day program with an assigned case worker to identify major goals that will move them toward stabilizing their families. We will also connect them to a church for longer term support and friendship.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 90% 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 - 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.
