Overview

Mission

The mission of ourcalling is to lead people to christ and make disciples on the streets. With our unsheltered homeless neighbors, this means we focus on helping people walk with jesus and get off the streets. We care for our neighbors with dignity and intentionally connect them to the body of christ and the support they need to live in a community of integrity.

What it reported doing in 2024

Ourcalling operates a downtown outreach center where neighbors experiencing homelessness access meals, showers, laundry, bible studies, church services, mentoring, addiction recovery classes, and access to +15 partner agencies that provide medical care, mental healthcare, pharmaceutical services, veterans support, id services, and more. We also send out search and rescue (street outreach) teams to 3,534 locations annually. Our teams serve under bridges, behind liquor stores, and trek through the woods to visit homeless friends in their camps and throughout the city. We have created over 1,100 unique exit strategies to help individuals get off the streets and live in long-term communities of integrity. We help over 1,000 people annually exit homelessness.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 98% 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.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

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 fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
