Overview
Mission
Restore Dignity hosts the Grief to Grace retreat, a week-long residential program designed for adult survivors of childhood trauma, including neglect, physical, spiritual, and/or sexual abuse. The retreat provides a safe and supportive environment where participants engage in guided healing sessions, reflection, and community support aimed at fostering emotional and spiritual restoration, personal growth, and renewed hope.
What it reported doing in 2025
Healing Retreats (Primary Program Service) Restore Dignitys primary program service is the provision of healing retreats for individuals who have experienced abuse or neglect. During the reporting year, the organization conducted six retreats, including two in Spanish and four in English, with programming that included service to Native American participants. These retreats provide a safe and supportive environment focused on emotional and spiritual healing, restoration of dignity, and rebuilding hope through facilitated sessions, group support, and guided activities. On average, 90100 participants are served annually through this program. The majority of the organizations resources and efforts are dedicated to this primary program service.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
- 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 revenue has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
