Overview

Mission

Beach Bum Philanthropy assists local shelters, social service agencies, and other non-profits that work to better the lives of people and animals in our communities. We assist by providing funds, goods and supplies, and volunteering to help these organizations provide their services to their clients. Some examples of our assistance are goods and supplies from their urgent "wish lists", homemade meals, and funds during times of critically low supplies.

What it reported doing in 2025

Liberty House is a shelter and social services organization in Manchester NH that helps at-risk veterans (particularly homeless veterans, both in their shelter and those out in the elements). We provide food and supplies when critically needed. This year we provided gloves, socks, underwear, toiletries (razors, toothbrushes, toothpaste, soap), laundry detergent, paper towels, toilet paper, and many food pantry donations (cereal, fruit snacks, pasta, tomato sauce, oatmeal, rice, snack packs, canned vegetables, coffee, canned pasta, etc.). We also provided many hot, homebaked goods (meatballs, cookies, breads, etc.). The number of people affected depends on the number of veterans in their shelter at any given time, and the number of homeless veterans reached by the organization.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent spending detail to tell whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filed totals do not add up and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
