Overview
Mission
Our mission is to promote the living of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. This is done through three lines of activity: the Greenhouse Collective, Abiding Together, and our original activity of assisting lay missionaries to serve the poor. Please see Schedule O for more information.
What it reported doing in 2024
TWM's Greenhouse Collective website contains religious resources for Christians who are striving to live the Gospel. The vision is to provide resources, training, and support to Greenhouse leaders. Greenhouse leaders may use these resources in their small-group formation ministry. Please see the Greenhouse Collective website at https://greenhousecollective.org/ for more information.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 86% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 99% 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. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
