Solid Rock International

What Solid Rock International does

Solid Rock International is a 501(c)(3) Christian nonprofit headquartered in Fort Wayne, Indiana, with primary operations in San Juan de la Maguana, Dominican Republic. The organization delivers a portfolio of interconnected humanitarian programs: the Christian Clinic for Integral Health (CCSI) for integrated medical care, student sponsorship through partner schools Lucille Rupp and CCED (Colegio Cristiano Evangélico Dominicano), the Child Nutrition Program (CNP) for malnourished children, and guesthouse hospitality supporting short-term U.S. mission teams. Its mission is framed as holistic transformation across body, mind, and soul in underserved Dominican communities.

The underlying technology footprint is minimal: the organization operates no proprietary platform and relies on a third-party donation and sponsorship portal at solidrock.reachapp.co, a standard WordPress website, and standard social media channels (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube). Programmatic delivery is human and physical rather than technology-mediated, with no apps, APIs, or AI components in evidence.

Revenue is generated entirely through donations and program-related fees, with three identifiable streams: one-time and recurring monetary gifts from individual donors, monthly student sponsorships processed through the online portal, and transaction-based mission trip participation fees. Go-to-market is event-driven (church partnerships and personal referrals feed annual mission team recruitment) layered with a community-led recurring engagement motion (long-term sponsorships and donor relationships). The organization is credentialed through 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status, ECFA membership (Org ID 15027), Charity Navigator verification, and Candid profiling, supporting donor-facing transparency.
