Overview

Mission

What it reported doing in 2025

Fore the Cause fulfills its exempt purpose by organizing annual fundraising events that support local nonprofit organizations and charitable causes within the community. Each year, the organization partners with a different local nonprofit, involving them throughout the fundraiser to help increase community awareness, engagement, and support for their mission.Funds raised are primarily donated to the selected nonprofit organization, while a portion is retained to support future fundraising events and provide charitable donations to additional nonprofit causes throughout the year. The organization measures its impact through funds distributed, nonprofit partnerships, volunteer involvement, and community participation in fundraising activities.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Hybrid. The nonprofit split its reported program spending across 50% for direct work, and 50% for grants.

The verdict
