Overview

Mission

Marriage therapy

What it reported doing in 2017

We are developing the infrastructure for a retreat center for mariages and families in crisis. The mission is to provide a safe & serene environment in which individuals can more fully develop healthy relationships in their marriage and family.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 81% 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

STRONG - 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.
