THE UNITED STATES MISSION was founded
in Los Angeles, California in 1962 by the
Reverend Robert Humphries. The organization
was incorporated in the State of California in
1966 and soon sought and was granted,
nonprofit and tax exempt status.

Under I. R. S. Code Section 501 (c) (3) our tax exemption number is #94-1585260.

All of the Missions in the
United States Mission system remain, largely, financially and administratively independent of one another. With the exception of a small central emergency fund, all funds raised locally are devoted to our local homeless concerns.

The Mission receives no funding from Federal, State or Local Government programs or from
other social service organizations.

All of our funding comes from concerned corporations and generous individuals in our
local community.
