Organizations Filed Purposes:
The organization is organized exclusively for charitable and education purposes within the meaning of Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 or the corresponding provisions of any future United States Internal Revenue law (the "Code") including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the following specific purposes: 1. To provide innovative and affordable architectural and design service for global and local mission projects; and 2. To establish a network of licensed architects, intern architects, and other professionals to service in mission projects.
General Program - Architectural Services: The Organization's primary program is training young architects by providing architectural services for local and global missions organizations. In 2019, we provided services including master planning, commercial, institutional and residential architecture, and interior design to multiple organizational building projects worldwide. These projects included campus expansions for The University of the Nations in Battambang, Cambodia; Youth With A Mission in Lakeside, MT; Pico Escondido Vida Joven (Young Life) in the Dominican Republic; and the Boys and Girls Club of the Flathead Reservation in Polson, MT.
Summer Studio: The Organization's 2019 Summer Studio was a six-eight week initiative equipping 24 young professionals and students in leadership, service, and design held in Lakeside, MT. The studio explored how Christian principles can inform a career in architecture. Speakers from around the country shared their expertise on design, business, and world missions. Lectures, small groups, and one-on-one mentoring focused on faith and vocation. The studio culminated with the design and construction of interactive playground storage sheds for Somers Middle School. Each participant had the potential to earn 240 Intern Development Program hours towards the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards' requirements.
Computers and Software: In 2019, the Organization upgraded 14 workstations and associated technology in order to provide hardware that could efficiently process industry-standard REVIT, ENSCAPE, and ADOBE software programs. The Organization also purchased four laptops for executive and administrative staff. The workstations and laptops are integral to the training of young architects and professionals and the provision of architectural services.
