Overview

Mission

Vision of Hope exists for the spreading of the Gospel of Jesus Christ through the influence of camps, clinics, and special ministry activities. These activities include support for children whose parents are incarcerated and for men just released from incarceration.

What it reported doing in 2024

Operates a year round camp facility for use by church groups and civic groups on a reservation basis. Also operates a camp operation for children whose parents are incarcerated during the summer.

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 92% 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 most voting board members are independent. The filing does not identify recipients for some grant dollars and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
