01What it does

What Life Changing Ministries Inc does

Mission

The Mission of Life Changing Ministries to assist individuals, youth, adults and families with making choices that will determine the course of their lives and them to become stronger, independent and empowered people to make decisions about the quality of life they seek or desire to have.

As stated on its FY2020 Form 990.

Program

Through our substance abuse and mental health services, Life Changing Ministries provides comprehensive direct, spiritual guidance, and culturally-specific, community-based services to clients regardless of their race, creed, national origin, or religion. We also expanded our services to include intensive outpatient and residential treatment, as well as mental health assessments and accredited substance abuse counselor training.

The first program described on its most recent Form 990, which lists programs largest first by expense.

Each line starts at 100 in 2018, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2018, 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.

1 of 1 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 100% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

From the IRS filings of LIFE CHANGING MINISTRIES INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.

Where its funders are

100% of LIFE CHANGING MINISTRIES INC's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Too little is directly attributable to place on a map.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $66 arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
