Overview

Mission

Stewardship Resources is a nonprofit organization which seeks to provide needed education to the Anabaptist community from within the Anabaptist community.

What it reported doing in 2024

Anabaptist Business Advising - We seek to meet the unique educational needs of traditional Anabaptists by providing economic and business advising services to the Anabaptist business community. Advisors from this program are exclusively selected from within the traditional community. They interweave religious, charitable, and educational business advice to mentor Anabaptists individually. In so doing they simultaneously enhance the communitys faith and economics. We teach Anabaptists how to be wise stewards of their God-given resources and how to live out their religious convictions within their business operations. We also help Anabaptists develop charitable hearts for the struggling members of the Anabaptist community, and for those in poverty around the world.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 99% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 95% 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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
