Overview

Mission

The selah center is a christ-centered nonprofit ministry serving Virginia's lake country region for the purpose of helping pregnant women make choices that will save lifetimes. The center offers support by providing alternative options to abortion through biblical counseling and educational resources.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 97% 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 reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
