Overview

Mission

We build and restore homes, lives and communities through faith.

What it reported doing in 2024

Saw habitat is a nonprofit affiliate of habitat for humanity international, inc., an ecumenical christian nonprofit organization whose purposes are to build decent, affordable housing, and to put shelter on the hearts and minds of people in such a powerful way that poverty, housing, and homelessness become socially, politically, and religiously unacceptable. The mission statement of saw habitat is "we build and restore homes, lives, and communities through faith."

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
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.
