Overview
Mission
Project pathfinder, inc.is dedicated to the elimination of sexual violence and abuse. In order to achieve its mission, the organization provides psychotherapy, consultation, training, education and prevention services in a manner that protects community interest and safety, prevents sexual violence and abuse and improves the lives of its clients, their families and the community. It performs these activities in compliance with ethical standards and statutory requirements, providing its services throughout Minnesota.
What it reported doing in 2024
We provide clinical service programs to approximately 300 clients weekly, including underserved populations and rural areas that can otherwise not access programming to support community safety, reduce and eliminate sexual abuse and educate and train for sexual health and wellness: boundaries, assault and healthy families. We provide training and education to professionals in the community. Recidivism rate is less than 3%, with client successful completion as an additional outcome measurement.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 97% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
- 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
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
