Overview

Mission

Tiny purpose exists in the hope of being able to help grieving mothers understand that their baby's too-short life had a purpose-a purpose extending into eternity. We desire to be a place where women are allowed to grieve, grow and heal; and a place where they have the opportunity to hlep other mothers, in turn fulfilling the lord's eternal purpose.

What it reported doing in 2024

Tiny purpose provided monthly support group meetings for women who have experienced the loss of a child and provided supplies/gifts to expectant mothers. Hospital memory boxes donated to 6 hospitals, 154 boxes; 184 tiny treasure donations; 115 bracelets; card ministry-40 women per month; mother's day ministry- 36 mothers; 34 attendees at the annual gathering; 850 walk to remember participants.

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 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 and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
