Overview

Mission

The Information Technology Disaster Resource Center (ITDRC) was founded in 2008 to provide communities with the technical resources necessary to continue operations and begin recovery after a disaster. We harness the collective resources of the technology community to provide no cost Information, Communications, and Technology (ICT) solutions that connect survivors and responders in crisis.

What it reported doing in 2024

ITDRCs Disaster Response program counts for 100% of the program budget, which was 98% of the overall organizational budget in 2024.ITDRC volunteers were deployed to 29 major disasters and established 817 sites from Washington to Puerto Rico benefiting 471 communities across the United States. FMV of all goods and services is estimated at over 6.6 million dollars, and volunteers contributed just under 40 thousand hours.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 99% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% 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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
