Overview

Mission

Charitable giving

What it reported doing in 2025

Based on the grant money allocated to each market each quarter, the market-level committee decides which organizations they would like to give to. Their recommendations are then voted on by the entire Grande Cares board of directors each quarter. In 2025, Grande Cares approved 50 grants.

Operating model

Revenue model
Membership-supported. 78% of the money available for current operations came from membership dues.
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

REVIEW - 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.
