Overview

Mission

Benevolent missions international (bmi) is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing needed ophthalmic care to the underserved in many areas around the world.

What it reported doing in 2025

Bmi provides healthcare education and medical/surgical clinics by recruiting volunteer healthcare professionals and lay personnel, providing cost free healthcare services, furnishing essential equipment and supplies, educating local healthcare workers to medically care for their people, and equipping mission sites with educational materials for on-going training.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 93% 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 - 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.
