What it reported doing in 2025

To provide services to children in areas of deepest need. The focus of our group is to provide a safe home for the children that are referred or turned over to us to provide a safe environment for each child regardless of race, color, creed or religion between the ages of 0-19 years.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 63% 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. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and expenses are high relative to revenue.
