Charity Navigator's ratings previously did not consider Leadership & Adaptability, Culture & Community, or Impact & Measurement. The historic rating mainly reflects a version of today’s Accountability and Finance score. More information on our previous rating methodologies can be found on our rating methodology page.
Rating histories are available for a growing number of rated organizations. Check back later to see if this organization has a rating history!
Emmanuel Labor cannot currently be evaluated by our Accountability & Finance methodology due to only having one year of electronically-filed IRS Form 990 data (990EZ, 990N, 990PF does not qualify).
To ensure year-to-year consistency the Encompass Rating System's Accountability & Finance beacon analyzes the three-year average of some data provided through the IRS form 990.
Charity Navigator currently only has one year of consecutive e-filed Forms 990 from the IRS for Emmanuel Labor under the EIN: 82-2959797.

Impact & Measurement
Score
91
This beacon estimates the actual impact a charity has on the lives of those it serves, and determines whether it is making good use of donor resources to achieve that impact.
$16,009 total costs / 1,518 nights of shelter provided = roughly $10 provides a night of shelter to a person experiencing homelessness [2021 USD]
Program Context
The nonprofit provides people experiencing homelessness with a temporary place to stay.
Data Time Period
1/1/23 to 12/31/23
Benchmark for Scoring
Impact scores of emergency shelters are based on the cost of providing a night of shelter relative to the Fair Market Rent in that county. Programs receive an Impact score of 100 if they are less than 200% the Fair Market Rent and a score of 80 if they are less than 400%. If a nonprofit reports impact but doesn't meet the benchmark for cost-effectiveness, it earns a score of 65. The nonprofit provides a night of shelter for less than 200% of county-level Fair Market Rent.
Methodology
This impact score was determined through the Emergency Shelters methodology which is fully detailed in the Charity Navigator Guide to Ratings. Analysis conducted in 2024 by Charity Navigator using data submitted by the nonprofit, theory and evidence from scientific research studies, and public datasets.
Data Source
The nonprofit submitted cost data and the number of nights of shelter provided.

The nonprofit organization presents evidence of strategic thinking through articulating the organization's mission.
Homelessness is an issue that affects all of us.
The problem is most of the solutions being offered focus on the symptoms.
At Emmanuel Labor we concentrate our focus on the root cause of homelessness; radically reducing the amount of time a person struggles and the amount of money being wasted.
The root cause of all homelessness is the breakdown of nuclear relationships. The origin and the extent of the breakdown is the mystery.
We know everyone’s story is unique, and their solution is in their story.
So we learn the story and build a plan.
