Street Love Ministries is a non-profit that exists to be the front-line display of the Goodness of God and the life-changing Love of Christ, by meeting basic needs and building meaningful relationships with the homeless community. SLM believes by ministering to The Least, The Last, and The Lost that a person will come to believe they matter to Him and enter into a personal relationship with Our Savior.

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

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and program spending has grown recently. A relatively small share of voting board members are independent and a relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work.
