Overview
Mission
To use if the power of long-distance cycling to 1) heal our returning veterans 2) draw attention to veterans issues and 3) raise money for direct service veterans charities
What it reported doing in 2012
Over the summer of 2012, 5 veterans cycled across the United States. We successfully raised $5000 for charity (donated to Operation first Response) and inspired thousands of people.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 86% 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 - 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.
