Overview

Mission

By god's grace, the rescue mission of mahoning valley exists to proclaim the gospel of jesus christ while providing food, emergency shelter, and promote accountability to men, women, and families experiencing homelessness.

What it reported doing in 2024

Emergency program - at the mission, our emergency program is the first stop for all clients seeking assistance. Each person has a unique story that has led them to our doors. Many have hit rock-bottom and have no place else to turn. Support of the mission provides a safe haven to individual men and women and families in need, including married couples, single mothers and single fathers. Our guests receive nutritious meals and a clean bed, along with the opportunity to take a deep breath and assess their situation during the first seven days of their stay. Our staff works closely with each guest to create a personalized plan to transition out of homelessness as they engage in one of our other three programs: transitional, workforce, workforce assistance.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 93% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 84% 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.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and most filed governance safeguards are in place. A relatively small share of voting board members are independent and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
