Overview

Mission

Raise money to help people with mental illness and those dealing with sudden loss

What it reported doing in 2025

In support of those grieving, three 9 week sessions were held in 2024 with 8 to 10 participants, held at Saint Mark Church in Vienna, Virginia. Partnering with comfort zone camps, BLF volunteers assisted at the September weekend for kids at Camp Friendship. For the 10th year, BLF registered with the combined federal campaign (CFC) and attended charity events in the DC area, raising funds through payroll deductions from federal government employees

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 100% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
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

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of voting board members are independent.
