Overview
Mission
A nondenominational, non-profit, charitable mission organization established to collect, refurbish, store and ship medical, dental, office lab and construction equipment for use by organizations around the world. Also, to lead mission teams for local and nationwide missions as necessary.
What it reported doing in 2025
Expenses directly related to fullfill company exempt purposes.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 87% 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
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
