Overview

Mission

The organization was formed to provide an outdoor camping experience for children who have, or are about to have, heart transplants; lung, or double transplants; or have contracted pulmonary hypertension (a fatal disease which impacts the heart and lungs).

What it reported doing in 2011

During 2010, camp dragonfly was able to provide a summer camp experience for 30 students and 14 accompanying medical staff at echo hill outdoor school. The camp was a five day outdoor experience for the patients and the medical staff responsible for their direct care. The camp allowed these patients to experience enrichment opportunities which would otherwise not be available to them because of their medical conditions.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 88% 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. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and the available information about grant readiness automatic revocation leaves an important question unanswered.
