Overview

Mission

The 5:14 initiative seeks to provide practical pathways for people to give their resources of time and finances to those with little hope. 5:14 comes from a verse in the christian scriptures that says: "everything in the laws and the prophets can be summed up with one command: 'love your neighbor as yourself.'" therefore, we seek to answer the question: "who is my neighbor?" our journey has led us to focus on orphan and refugee care. The 5:14 initiative networks with others to bring advocacy to those who have no voice and thereby bringing love and hope to our neighbor.

What it reported doing in 2025

Provided assistance and funding to african orphanage and pregnancy center. Assisted with adoption of special needs children through good shepherd's fold orphanage. Refugee care including emergency services, driving lessons, help in resourcing community services, job research, job location assistance, family sponsorships, volunteer provisions and recreational opportunities. The organization created, organized, and maintained a free clothes closet and food pantry for those refugees who are under-resourced.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 89% 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

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 program spending has declined or grown slowly.
