Overview
Mission
A progressive Christ centered ministy which welcomes students in an open and caring community to connect, to explore their faith and to impact the world.
What it reported doing in 2024
During 2024, UPCaM offered over 50 programs for college students across Case Western Reserve University (CWRU). UPCaM staff, students and volunteers contributed over 300 hours of connection - engaging college students weekly in meaningful programs, conversations, worship services, Bible study and mentoring. UPCaM's Labre Meal Making created 30 meals in the pursuit of ending homelessness and food insecurity in Cleveland. United Protestant Campus Ministries served 30 college students in 2024 offering programming at CWRU. Hosted at CWRU but available to all our students was a weekly Dinner Church - an opportunity for a healthy, homecooked, free meal, worship and discussion in the Protestant tradition. Average attendance at Dinner Church was 12 persons. At CWRU there is a student leadership team that plans social activities, coordinates service programs and evaluates all programs at CWRU. Also at CWRU, student leaders and staff supported the student-driven Physical Resource Center (PRC) Food pantry by helping deliver a new freezer and connect student leaders with a local congregation eager to support their work. Students, Executive Director and Pastoral Intern participated in an ecumenical Good Friday Service with Church of the Covenant.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 100% 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
SUPPORTED - 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.
