Overview

Mission

Empty Arms Vermont is a charitable organization that provides peer support to individuals who have experienced pregnancy and infant loss.

What it reported doing in 2024

Community In-Person Events: These events bring together a community of peers and families to support individuals who have been affected by pregnancy and infant loss. We held an estimated 12 yoga sessions that served 29 individuals. We hosted Remembrance Nights in 3 locations across Vermont that served over 160 people with the help of over 15 volunteers. Our annual Run & Walk brings together over 400 community members with the help of about 30 volunteers.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 83% 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

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
