Overview

Mission

We treat addiction as a spiritual problem and work to return men to their families usefully whole — sober, working, and ready to contribute at home and in their community.

What it reported doing in 2024

Rehabilitation of men for whom drugs and alcohol are an overriding problem in their lives.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 75% 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 a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and some filed totals do not add up.
