Overview

Mission

To bring peace and dignity through life's transitions by providing comfort, care, and support to people in need.

What it reported doing in 2024

Clinical and thrift operations to support the provision of nursing and counseling services for critically ill and terminally ill patients and their families.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 95% 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 expenses are high relative to revenue.
