Mission

Primary mission is the operation of The Freedom House - a Christian/discipleship transitional house for women being released from prison. We are committed to helping women break every chain, walking them into their freedom straight out of the prison gates. Each potential disciple will go through an extensive application, interview process and a structured four phase discipleship plan while staying in the home. The women participate voluntarily, unlike many other programs; this is an important key to the womens success. By choosing to take advantage of the freedom house discipleship program, the women take a powerful step in giving her a new hope and a new future.

Each tax year counts once: when a return was amended, only the latest return for that period is used below (superseded returns stay listed, greyed, under Finances).

Who gave

Contributor names are not public for this form type.

Public charities filing Form 990 or 990-EZ report large donors on Schedule B, but the IRS withholds their names and addresses from public copies. Private foundations (990-PF) are different: their contributors are public.

Finances

Newest first. Each filing: its name on one row, its figures on the row beneath. Greyed filings are superseded by a later return for the same period and are left out everywhere else on this page.

Where the money went

Every expense line on each return, biggest first: Form 990 Part IX (with its program, management and fundraising columns), 990-EZ Part I, or 990-PF Part I. Event marks lines the organization itself describes as events. “Events” in each summary adds those lines, conferences and meetings, and the direct costs of fundraising events. Unusual is not the same as improper. Many of these patterns have ordinary explanations. Check the filing.
