Overview

Mission

Bluevoice.org works to protect marine mammals and the ocean environment. The organization's primary work is ending the killing of dolphins by direct slaughter and through incidental catch and exposure to deadly levels of chemical contaminants which are threatening the marine ecosystem. These deadly chemicals are already accumulating in several species of fish, marine mammals, and now in human beings.

What it reported doing in 2019

Education of the public about ocean related issues through digitized media via the internet.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 98% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
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

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
