Overview

Mission

The Ark and The Dove, Inc. operates as a retreat center and as a pilgrimage site, holds praise and worship events, and is a symbol of unity for the various streams of the Catholic Charismatic Renewal.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 76% 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

STRONG - 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 expenses are high relative to revenue.
