Overview

Mission

Works collaboratively to create a productive and self-sufficient environment, through humanitarian health and development programs, for children and their families severely affected by extreme poverty, disease and hunger in the caribbean and other parts of the world.

What it reported doing in 2025

The BATEY RELIEF ALLIANCES humanitarian work is health-oriented and is carried out internationally by collaborating with local grassroots organizations and government agencies through direct services and education. Each year, BRA secures millions of dollars in in-kind resources for its many projects implemented inside the Dominican Republics bateyes, and distributing part to its local partners raising their capacity to deliver improved services to impoverished communities they serve throughout the country. In addition to these, BRA implements projects inside the United States New York raising public awareness, through international conferences and education, about its humanitarian effort, and issues of inequity, racial intolerance, human rights, and HIV/AIDS.

Operating model

Revenue model
Grant-funded. 61% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
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.
  • 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.
