Overview

Mission

Our goal is to generate enough funds to support our 5 amish parochial schools. We have consignment auctions and lunch stands where the amish community donates of of their labor.

What it reported doing in 2024

The corporation is organized and will be operated exclusively for the charitable, educational, religious or scientific purposes within the mean of section 501(c)3 of the internal revenue code. We are an amish community in pike co mo of around 85 families. We have five 1 room parochial schools throughout the community where our children go to school for grades 1 through 8. This community was established in 1948. In the past, every family in the amish community paid a share of the schools expenses. In the spring of 2015, a five acre track of ground was purchased and a building constructed (with borrowed funds)with the intent to host 2 public consignment auctions per year. All labor prior to, during and after the auction is volunteer (including the food stand labor) bt the people of the amish community with the exception of the auctioneers. All the office work is volunteer by the people of the amish community. All profits go towards our schools.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 64% 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.
