Overview
Mission
To provide charitable services and goods to support the unhoused community members. The organization embraces diversity and value individuals irrespective of race, color, national orgin, age, diability, religion or sex. Our commitment is to eliminate discrimination, ensuring accessible and inclusive programs where everyone's voice is heard.
What it reported doing in 2024
Dignity in motion has reached a significant milestone through our largest and most impactful program, bikes for the unhoused. This initiative has consistently served as a vital lifeline for the homeless members in our community, empowering them with a means of transportation to access essential services, employment opportunities and social connections. Throughout the year, we successfully collected and received generous donations of gently used bikes from community members, local bike shops and partner organizations. Each bike went through repair and rehabilitation process. Also, these bicycles were equipped with secure locks and rechargable front and back lights, ensuring the safety and security of our beneficiaries during their commutes.
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 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
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.
