What it reported doing in 2024

St. Mary's exists for the purpose of enabling individuals to be gainfully employed and to serve the general public. The Center as a group will help each child develop the social, emotional, and spiritual skills necessary for healthy interaction in the current society. In 2022, we provided employment for 32 individuals and provided childcare to a total of 74 children in the following age groups:0-12 months 10 children12-24 months 13 children2 year olds 16 children3 year olds 15 children4 year olds 18 children

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 98% 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

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of voting board members are independent and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
