Overview

Mission

To empower individuals and families in need to be transformed to lead better lives through diverse community outreach programs.

What it reported doing in 2025

Community development: remodeling community libraries in need, distributing grants from young-nak church to the community npos, providing social services, and operating a group home for diabilities.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 90% of the money available for current operations came from other operating revenue.
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 - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
