Overview

Mission

Redwoods Global Missions exists to glorify God by loving and caring for people. We share the hope of the Gospel of Jesus Christ with the lost, encourage the saints, and come alongside the broken and suffering so that they do not have to suffer alone.

What it reported doing in 2025

Since the war started in 2022, we have been heavily involved in humanitarian aid relief efforts. We receive aid from international and local sources and distribute it to people most heavily affected by the war. We personally deliver to a city called Kherson, it is only miles away from the front lines. We not only meet material needs, but also meet spiritual needs. We are working alongside of Noah's Ark Missions and have helped with camps for family members of fallen soldiers and women's retreats. We have also helped with projects for soldiers, wounded soldiers, chaplains, refugees, and their families. All of our outreaches and ministries are of course done for one purpose, to show Christs love and share the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We pray and hope this war ends soon. Unfortunately, even when it does end, there will be a lot of work to do. The next 1-2 years we plan to keep doing most of the same work we have done the past 2 years; give physical and spiritual support to a hurting country. That is accomplished through some of the events mentioned above.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% 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 total spending goes to programs. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
