What Cherish Ministry Inc does
Mission
Cherish opens life-changing doors for pregnant teens and young moms through education, strategic resources, and mentoring. Every young mother is empowered to embrace her inherent worth, break harmful cycles, and confidently pursue a life of purpose for herself and her child.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
Cherish Ministry is a nonprofit organization that supports pregnent teens and young mothers through holistic programs designed to promote stability, independence, and long-term family wellbeing. Operating in 25 locations and serving up to 3,800 young moms and children each month, Cherich provides education, life-skills training, baby care essentials, mentoring, early childhood education, parenting support, and job-readiness services. Our in-home mentoring helps young moms heal from trauma and build emotional resilience. We also work to prevent child abuse and reduce the risk of family separation through early intervention and parenting education. In addition to our direct services, Cherish equips organizations locally and globally to replicate this model of care in their own communities. All services are provided free of charge, with the goal of empowering young moms to build safe, healthy, and hope-filled futures for themselves and their children.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2019, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2019, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2022 to 2023, from $187k to $312k (+67%).
