Overview

Mission

Group youth home for disadvantaged youth

What it reported doing in 2023

To provide a therapeutic environment for youth who have difficulties that might be best solved away from their home and to help each youth strive towards becoming a productive member of society by developing his/her spiritual, mental, physical and social potentials.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 94% 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. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
