Overview

Mission

Advancing Compassion Project is a volunteer-based nonprofit dedicated to bringing support and increased community awareness to organizations and individuals helping the under-served.

What it reported doing in 2024

Emmaus operates to tackle the causes of poverty and exclusion within its community. The organization operates a resale project giving second life to previously used goods. Bazaar Sans Frontieres is a project facilitating education, reintegration and return to employment of out-of-work citizens through training and professional internships. The organization also operates a repair and resale project giving second life to previously used goods to help reduction to environmental waste. For both organizations, ACP donated a large stock of art, furniture, electronics and other sellable items.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 93% of the money available for current operations came from other operating revenue.
Distribution model
Grant intermediary. The nonprofit sent 100% of its reported program spending out as grants.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and most voting board members are independent. The filing reports few safeguards for money sent abroad and the filing does not identify recipients for some grant dollars.
