Overview
Mission
To serve abused, neglected and at-risk children, young adults and families by empowering them to create new choices and new hope in a caring community.
St. Jude's Ranch for Children, founded in 1966, provides therapeutic residential foster care, transitional living, and sibling preservation programs for abused, neglected, and homeless children and young adults in Southern Nevada. Operating from a campus in Boulder City, the organization also offers transitional housing and support services for homeless youth ages 18-24, and a pregnant and parenting teen program. Through individualized treatment and holistic care, the Ranch aims to help children recapture lost childhoods and build self-sufficient futures.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this foundation funds its work.
- Distribution model
- No current program activity. The filing reports no charitable disbursements for the current year.
The verdict
REVIEW - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of spending goes to grants and the filing does not identify all grant recipients.
