Overview

Mission

To finding and doing basic medical to people lost or have perished in the wilderness. Our goal is to bring people home safely!

What it reported doing in 2025

As Alaska Mt Rescue Group we do not have a One Program Service Accomplishment. We rescue people off mountains and in the back country. So we dont have Expenses for those missions. We just go where we are needed State Patrol calls us in.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
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

REVIEW - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
