Overview

Mission

Albuquerque metro crime stoppers is a central New Mexico nonprofit organization that makes our communities safer by partnering with law enforcement and media to solicit and reward anonymous tips that stop, solve and prevent crime.

What it reported doing in 2024

Established and supported community and school based crime solving and reporting programs. Established and maintained reward programs that award cash for information leading to the arrest and conviction of criminals.

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

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
