Overview
Mission
Our purpose is to provide free spiritual direction to women of color as a means of reparations for their soul.
What it reported doing in 2025
We provide 1 on 1 monthly Spiritual direction care for women of color free for up to 1 year. Funds we raise go towards paying Women of color spiritual directors to meet with women of color who sign up for our services. We matched 64 women of color with spiritual directors of color for 2025. Each woman received 10 1-hour sessions totaling 640 hours of soul care provided for women of color. Funds raised goes to pay contracted women of color spiritual directors a fair and honorable wage for meeting with Soul Reparations clients. We consider this also reparations for directors of color to help support these women of color in their ministry to other women of color. Expenses paid above.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.

The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
