Overview
Mission
25 united is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing world-wide relief to areas impacted by a disaster, be it natural or man-made. Our goal is to unite a team of 25 volunteers with experience in the fields of emergency medical response, public safety, and construction, who are willing and ready to deploy within days of a disaster striking. Once mobilized, this team of helping hands will work toward re-stabilizing these communities by clearing debris, providing necessary medical attention, establishing distributions centers for donated food and supplies, and rebuilding homes, shelters, churches, and schools. 25 united will aid in establising a relief infrastructure unique to each region of deployment and facilitate immediate disaster relief efforts. Our mission is to restore a way of life back into these communities and help them acieve self-sustainability.
What it reported doing in 2020
During the year ended june 30, 2021, 25 united coordinated volunteer efforts to provide relief to families in both Florida and Louisiana that suffered serious hardships from cancer, covid-19, and hurricanes.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
