Overview

Mission

To provide a christian, business peer-group network with a biblical worldview for the anabaptist community.

What it reported doing in 2024

Symbiz values healthy relationships with god, family, employees, customers and vendors; personal growth in understanding god's perspective on business; and generosity with peers, employees, our communities and others in need. Symbiz provides a business peer-group network framework with smaller networking groups under its umbrella to provide members with support and accountability to inspire growth in themselves, their businesses and their employees.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 96% 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. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
