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.

Programs described in its return (1)
  1. $124,000 spent. Hope Beyond Horizons Ministry Inc. engaged in one primary charitable activity: Providing bibliographical tributes and eulogies to grieving families whom have recently lost children, which were provided at no cost to grieving families for use in funerals, obituaries, memorial services, and online publications. This program aligns with IRS-recognized charitable purposes under IRC Section 501(c)(3) as it: Advances religion and charitable support by offering written memorial tributes that provide emotional comfort, spiritual healing, and remembrance to grieving families. Provides literary and educational contributions by preserving the memory of passed away children through carefully crafted biographical tributes, ensuring that families have access to high-quality, meaningful memorials. Relieves distress by supporting families navigating the grief process, offering compassionate, free-of-charge services that otherwise might require financial resources they do not have. Hope Beyond Horizons Ministry maintained ownership of the intellectual property and continued to permit families to utilize the tributes.
