Overview

Mission

To improve the well-being and health conditions of families through a collaborative system of physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual supports.

What it reported doing in 2024

Mentoring the griffin-spalding county mentor program began in 2012 through the combined efforts and generous contributions of the griffin-spalding county chamber of commerce, the griffin housing authority, and griffin-spalding county school system. The mentor program matches caring adults with students in the griffin-spalding school system who would benefit from having a volunteer to help on their path to becoming successful adults. A mentor acts as a listner, a role model and a friend. Children who are mentored have better school attendance, better attitudes toward school, a greater likelihood of completing school and less substance abuse than non- mentored students. Mentors interact with their mentee on school premises once each week for a meal, school program, game, or conversation. The program requires a one-year commitment, but mentor-mentee pairings are encouraged to extend beyond the first year. The mentor visiting schedule is flexible during school hours. On-campus group mentoring pograms and off- campus group mentoring programs have been added to expand the program.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 64% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
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.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of total spending goes to programs. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
