Mission

TO REFLCT THE LOVE OF JESUS CHRIST BY FOSTERING RENEWAL, STABILITY, AND TRANSFORMATION IN THE LIVES OF CHILDREN AND FAMILIES IN SOUTHSIDE BILLINGS.

  • FOSTERING RENEWAL, STABILITY, AND TRANSFORMATION IN THE LIVES OF CHILDREN AND FAMILIES, AND PROVIDING PROGRAMMING AND SERVICES TO EMPOWER YOUTH AND FAMILIESFriendship House of Christian Service was started by a coalition of downtown Billings'churches in 1957 to provide essential services to the impoverished andunder-resourced children and families living on Billings' south side. Over the years ,the mission of Friendship House has remained constant: "Reflecting the Love of Jesus Christ to foster renewal, stability and transformation in the lives of children and families in South Billings." Our overarching goal is to break the cycle of generational poverty through education, investment and access to essential services. We seek to provide holistic community development and build leaders through serving at-risk and low-income children and families. Because our goal requires tremendous buy-in from our enrollees, we strive to develop long lasting friendship with children and families we serve through compassion, care and accountability . By offering services for ages 4-104 since 1957, we truly have become the foundation that allows our clients to grow into successful leaders.The five core programs we use to achieve this goal include our: Preschool- f or 4-5year old children, Youth-Afterschool/Summer Enrichment Programs for K-6th gradestudents, Teen- Programming for 13-19 year olds including open gym and Cafe',Parent/Caregiver/Adult Support Programming- educational classes, and Counseling- for all age levels, individuals and families . Because of the tremendous support of our donors, grantors, contractors and endowment, we have found tremendous success in working to increase school readiness by 100% in Preschoolers, K-6th grade student academic test scores have increased 17%, student social growth has improved 10%,student emotional growth increased 13%, parental support classes have educated over 300 this year, access to food resources has grown by 10%, neighborhood teen social and emotional support rose by 100% and we provided over 1,000 hours of counseling this year.We are not a franchise of a national organization; rather we are a homegrownBillings, Montana community response to meeting our community's deepest needs. We have a local board of directors from the various sectors of the Billings community and maintain local control of our work. We do not proselytize, rather we share God's love through acts of service that earn us the right to invest in lives challenged bypoverty and brokenness. While we are a part of several local, statewide, nationwideand worldwide affinity groups that support and encourage our work to theunder-resourced, we are independent and can serve where our community has the mostimmediate need. We have the support of more than 75 businesses and 40 churches andmore than 25 partner agencies that encourage our work with contributions, volunteersand donations. We are truly making great strides in developing our community,building leaders and are meeting and exceeding our goals.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Grants received

Related organizations

From Schedule R Part II, where a filer lists the tax-exempt organizations it is related to by control. It does not record shared board members or money.

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
