Set Free To Be Me

What Set Free To Be Me does

Set Free To Be Me is a faith-based nonprofit ministry founded in 2018 by Kay Fant and headquartered at 151 Regions Way, Suite 2B, Destin, Florida. The organization serves women experiencing trauma, abuse, addiction, shame, anger, codependency, and related life difficulties, with a mission to help participants discover identity, peace, and freedom through Christ-centered teaching and counseling.

The ministry's core product is a nine-month structured program combining weekly in-person group classes with private one-on-one sessions, addressing root issues such as insecurity, codependency, and emotional bondages. Upon completion, participants may progress through three additional programs — GRACE (deeper healing), BOOTCAMP (sanctification maturation), and DISCIPLESHIP (sharing faith) — forming a layered spiritual development pathway. A Sponsorship Program supplements these offerings by connecting supporters with individual participants.

The business model is donation-based rather than fee-for-service. Revenue is generated through six monthly recurring donation tiers ($25, $50, $75, $100, $125, $150) plus one-time gifts accepted via PayPal, with the program itself offered free to participants. Enrollment is driven by an online application on the organization's WordPress-based website (setfreetobeme.org), with a waitlist system, August placement notifications, and September-to-May class cycles. Acquisition relies primarily on word-of-mouth referrals, participant video testimonies hosted on YouTube, and community events. The organization also holds a stated capital vision of approximately $700,000 to procure property and tiny homes for women in abusive, divorced, homeless, or financially distressed circumstances, indicating a planned expansion into shelter operations. No technology platform beyond the website and PayPal processing is in place, and there is no mobile app, API, or disclosed integrations.
