Overview
Mission
The women's refuge welcomes women who come from any background or economic status and will admit their need for god's answers in their lives. 85 percent of the women joining this program have been (or currently are) incarcerated or homeless. These women or their families have no financial resources to assist with the cost of food and shelter in our program. Our mission has always been that lack of finances should not be the roadblock that would keep women from our program.
What it reported doing in 2025
Through our unique discipleship program, program professionals work with each woman, in effort to help them find personal forgiveness, restoration, and reconciliation. We strive to help women come to know the love of jesus christ and the healing that comes with that understanding. We work with each woman to develop appropriate life goals and skills to find success in their personal paths.all this is possible due to individual donations that not only assist with food and shelter but also with obtaining ged or continuing education for these women so that they can rejoin society and not turn to their old ways (of drug abuse, living on the street or committing crimes to support those bad decisions).
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 95% 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. Revenue has declined or grown slowly and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
