Overview

Mission

Meet basic needs such as food, clothing, life skills, and provide hope and encouragement to develop job skills

What it reported doing in 2025

Benevolence - Provide payments to providers of electric, gasoline, physicians and prescriptions and other items desperately needed by 18 families

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 99% 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

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
