Mission

Connect International is a living network of connection. Some people seek meaning in life, or dream about spiritual or professional growth. Others are living in hostile surroundings; some are enduring a season of suffering. We connect these individuals with people who have the ability and courage to step in, be of help, and even share their lives with those in need. We facilitate these connections in order to bring solutions to the seeker and joy and fulfillment to the giver.

“Family for Every Child” we help orphans find loving homes to grow up in. We teach parents how to raise adopted kids in a way that respects their trauma history and we support families in crisis so that they can overcome difficult life circumstances. More specifically we:
Consult on adoption (legislation, procedures, exposing myths and correcting false beliefs).
Provide help with the process of adoption (including financial support and educational information).
Organize training sessions on parenting children who have suffered psychological trauma, neglect, and violence. Training is offered by specialists who are also raising their own adopted children.
Help existing adoptive families in a variety of ways (medical treatment, living conditions, relief aid, and summer camps).
Help families in crisis with physical, emotional, and social support.

Balance sheet

Fiscal Year: Jan 01 - Dec 31

SOURCE: IRS Form 990

The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.
