Overview
Mission
Thirsty Water Ministry is a faith-based ministry that seeks to facilitate community outreach through evangelizing, feeding, clothing, mentoring, and caring. Our objective is to nourish the weak, take care of the needy, care for the perishing, and ensure that both spiritual and physical needs are met.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
- 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. A relatively small share of total spending goes to programs and expenses are high relative to revenue.
