Overview

Mission

To show god's love to spiritually and materially needy persons, spread the gospel of jesus christ, and build disciples of jesus christ through repairing or maintaining cars and light trucks for: individuals in material need who have taken responsibility for their condition and desire to improve it, or charitable orginizations who serve spiritually and materially needy persons in other ways.

What it reported doing in 2010

Elijah's pit stop received several donated vehicles during the year. These vehicles were either repaired or recycled depending on their condition. The repaired vehicles were provided to those in material need and the proceeds from the recycled vehicles were used to further improve and repair the other vehicles.

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 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. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and expenses are high relative to revenue.
