What it reported doing in 2024
In 2024, Catwalk for Charitable Causes deepened its philanthropic impact through fashion productions and community partnerships. In May 2024, CCC produced the Fashion Fantasia Gala, generating over $80,000 in in-kind services and table donations for the Welcome Home Project, which provides essential items for individuals and families transitioning out of homelessness into permanent housing. In June 2024, CCC donated $8,500 to Building Education, supporting the construction of schools in Nepal. On October 26, 2024, CCC hosted Fashion Mega at the Verdi Club, where a $10,000 check was presented to the nonprofit for its historic building restoration project.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 86% 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
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
