Overview

Mission

Provide ministerial, educational, and mentorship support through various mediums to Seventh-day Adventist Christian students and their peers attending secular universities in the Boston-area.

What it reported doing in 2016

The Eighth Annual Collegiate Summit themed "Rooted in Jesus" was hosted at Tufts University Sept 23-24, 2016. It's a welcome back-to-school, worship, training, and networking opportunity for Adventist students and their peers in the Boston area. Throughout the weekend students were challenged and equipped with practical biblical training to better serve their campuses and participated in community service projects on and off campus. Over 80 people were in attendance.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 91% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
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

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
