(BCH) by establishing, funding, and completing projects on the campus of Mills Home, providing support of monthly activities to Mills Home Baptist Church for children in care, providing gifts for graduating seniors, maintaining and repairing Mitchell Museum and assist in costs and repairs to relocate museum to a new location due to structural deterioration of current location. The association also plans, funds, and organizes annual homecoming activities.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 79% of the money available for current operations came from other operating 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. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
