Overview

Mission

Our mission is to continue to grow what began 15 years ago by mobilizing churches to collaborate with one another and other sectors (non-profits, government, educators, business) to help all levels of greater atlanta (cities, communities and families) flourish, in an effort to ensure that the region's next generation is reaching their god-given potential. Unite is a network currently comprised of 8 regions and approximately 75 churches around metro atlanta. Our goal is to reach into 50 regions - uniting and mobilizing 1000+ churches around metro atlanta.

What it reported doing in 2022

Collaborative mobilization: 1.flourishing catalysts walk through an asset-based discovery process. They listen to key stakeholders in a local community including vulnerable community members, leadership from various sectors and local pastors. Flourishing catalysts discover the strengths, assets, dreams, challenges and pain points that exist in that community. 2.flourishing catalyst seek to help harmonize existing efforts (between local leaders and pastors) and strategize with pastors regarding how they can build on current efforts towards creating scaled impact. 3.once strategic goals are agreed upon, the fc mobilizes churches together, with other community partner towards those goals. The initiatives they pursue are contextually derived as they understand the primary challenges young people in a particular community are facing. (ie. Education, need for mentors, housing, hunger, transportation, jobs, immigration status, etc.).

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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
