Overview

Mission

Pope's kids place provides individualized care for children and young adults with special medical and behavioral needs to strengthen them, their families and the community through unique and exceptional programs.

What it reported doing in 2024

Eagles house pediatric group home. Eagles house provides 24-7 nursing care for our children. We offer residential, transitional, and respite services in a homelike, caring environment to children from birth to age 18 and their families. Children are cared for by highly skilled and dedicated nursing staff. Many are on ventilators, require daily infusions, are battling cancer or other life-threatening medical diagnoses-some they were born with and some that were acquired after birth. Many of our children are in foster care or are wards of the state. Respite care is at the core of our program. We provide a safe and nurturing place for families to comfortably leave their medically fragile child while taking a family-saving break to rest and rejuvenate, thus helping to keep families intact and strong.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 95% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model

  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
