At Reaching the Unreached, we believe generosity deserves clarity. If you gave, volunteered, or cheered us on in 2025, here is exactly where the money went, and what it made possible.
The top line
In 2025, we raised $33,263.66 through fundraising and contributions, and we put $44,909.84 of documented expenses to work. Documented expenses came in higher than funds raised. The difference was covered by our founder, so the work could continue without interruption.
Where it went
- Direct support for children: $8,156.77 for scholarships, transportation, and soccer programs, delivered through 45 verified transfers. Recipient names are omitted for privacy.
Mission food and supplies, including large food purchases in Colombia in December that fed families for weeks.
Mission travel and lodging for the team doing the work on the ground.
Day to day operations: the website, compliance filings, shipping donated goods, supplies, and storage.
Some airfare and food costs paid personally by board members are not included in these totals.
Looking ahead
This fall, the team heads out on its third mission to Colombia, and the Dare to Dream fundraiser on September 25 helps make it possible. Dare to Dream 2026 takes place Friday, September 25, from 6 to 9 PM at SIP on the Roof, 323 E Bay St, Jacksonville.
As founder Max Morel puts it:
“This is our third year going, and every year we reach more children and families than the last. What I look forward to most is the day we don’t have to turn any child away. We dare these kids to dream, and I want us to keep showing up until more of them get to.”
Thank you!
Every dollar given in 2025 turned into food on a table, a ride to school or practice, and a steady presence for kids who needed it. If you have questions about our finances, we welcome them. Transparency is part of how we serve.
