Overview

Mission

To provide residential care to individuals who are homeless, elderly or have mental illnesses.

What it reported doing in 2024

The stewart community home served the community as a non-profit residential home providing care to an average of 53 residents in the current year who were physically or mentally unable to care for themselves. Fees were based on ability to pay.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 96% 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.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
