Overview
Mission
Joshua's Charter is a non-profit organization whose mission is that all kids, each and every one, have the opportunity to experience waves of adventure and sensational fun through sailing on the open water. Our commitment is that families with children affected by cancer experience the vivacity and hope that tomorrow holds new possibility, adventure and magic yet to be discovered.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
- 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.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
