Made in His Image
Public records show a registered, tax-exempt organization in good standing.
What it says it does
The primary exempt purpose of this organization is to educate and provide relief for orphans by informing others about the orphan crisis in our world and selling merchandise whose funds directly support adoption programs. The current expenses for 2025 are the purchase of dolls that are modeled after orphans of the world. We also hired a graphic designer to create designs for sweatshirts that will be sold once we hold our fundraising event. We are still waiting on the dolls to be delivered from China.

Financial health
We do not score finances when yearly spending is very small or the return has too little detail. The ratios stop meaning much at that size.

Governance
This organization files the short tax form, which does not ask about boards, policies or audits. That is normal for a small charity and is not a mark against it.
