Overview
Mission
Non profit charitable organization whose mission is to raise ALS Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis awareness and education. It has been done via the setup of a relatively professional website on which we post various types of educational materials & information all with the goal of increasing the warning signs of ALS among the general public but also among primary care physicians urgent care centers physical therapists etc. Basically anyone that may see a patient present with early warning signs of ALS. If the non-ALS specialists were aware of even a few early warning signs they can should ask the question - Could this possibly be ALS? & if so then all they need to do is refer these patients to a neurology center of excellence so as to either rule out ALS hopefully God willing or if it does turn out to be a definitive diagnosis of ALS,
What it reported doing in 2025
Powerpoint presentation & video recording of education presentation on the importance of early detection of ALS symptoms & warning signs
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Transfer-based 990-EZ. The 990-EZ reports grants or member benefits, but it does not separate enough spending to show the nonprofit’s full delivery mix.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and expenses are high relative to revenue.
