Overview
Mission
The Here and Now Project's mission is to connect and empower the paralysis community in the Pacific Northwest. Through direct hospital outreach, private support groups, community activities, and larger annual gatherings, we have built a strong fellowship of people who encourage and inspire each other to Do Life in the here and now.
What it reported doing in 2024
Community Activities: H&NP currently hosts 12 monthly, peer-led social support meetings - five virtual, and seven in-person at different locations throughout our service region - reaching a total monthly average of 75+ members. Our Annual 5K for Today gathers the community with a focus on getting outside and staying active, and other Seasonal activities including our Annual Picnic, Adaptive Bowling & Billiards, and Gratitude Dinner foster positive experiences with community reintegration, and our quarterly DAC-WA Forums inform and educate participants on new technologies and advocacy opportunities. Additionally, our ongoing partnership with Seattle Sounders FC has sent 72 H&NP members to 20 MLS soccer matches in 2024 free-of-charge. In total, these events created nearly 1700 unique experiences for more than 275 of our members
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 94% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 99% 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.
- Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.
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 fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
