Overview

Mission

To create opportunities to gather and connect Christian women from Whatcom County and surrounding areas with other women on the same journey in Christ and to encourage women from all walks of Christian faith to worship God and be challenged to take their walk with Christ to a higher level.

What it reported doing in 2015

To operate exclusively for religious, chartiable, scientific, literary or educational purposes within the meaning of Section 501 (c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. Notwithstanding any other provision of these Articles of Incorporation, the corporation shall not carry on any other activities that are not in furtherance of one or more of those purposes.

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
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 and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
