Overview

Mission

To bring health and wholeness to the mental well-being of individuals and the community.

Redemption counseling center exists to bring health and wholeness to the mental well-being of individuals and the community through licensed, professional counselors who are guided by evidence-based practice, faith inclusion, and the removal of barriers to accessible mental health care.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 86% 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 some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
