Impact evidence

Describes programs. Its tax return describes what it does but we have found no measurable results in it.

Programs described in its return (1)
  1. $1.2 million spent. Upon each referral from the Maryland Division of Rehabilitation Services DORS program clients are allocated between 20 and 60 counseling hours tailored to their individual training needs. On average this training spans approximately 8 to 12 weeks ensuring personal support and development based on the specific requirements of each client. Over the past several years the Director of Services Dr. Barbara Taylor and her dedicated team have worked with as many as 500 clients annually. This remarkable achievement has been made possible with the collaborative efforts of five W-2 employees and a variable workforce of eight to twelve 1099 counseling contractors adjusted seasonally to meet program demands effectively. In November 2022 Family New Life Ministries received the prestigious Excellence in Partnership Award from Marylands DORS program. Under Dr. Taylors leadership the team of counselors demonstrated outstanding commitment and collaboration which not only enhanced the lives of their clients but also contributed to the organizations financial growth. Since launching this program Family New Life Ministries has seen an annual revenue increase of at least $300,000 from 2022 through the most recent reporting period of 2024. Through its unwavering dedication to client success and operational excellence Family New Life Ministries embodies a model of impactful service delivery. The teams ability to adapt innovate and thrive under Dr. Taylors leadership has solidified its reputation as a trusted partner in advancing rehabilitation services and improving the lives of the clients she and her team counsel every year.
