Overview

Mission

Advocating for economical and financial support for 9/11 First Responders and their families.

What it reported doing in 2024

The Feal Good Foundation continues to provide support for First Responders and family members left behind from the horrific 9/11 attacks. The support comes in the form of economical, non partisan political means, and financial support when available.

Operating model

Revenue model
Grant-funded. 78% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
Distribution model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent spending detail to tell whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
