Overview

Mission

Long beach basket brigade's mission is to provide baskets of food and household items to people in need during thanksgiving.

What it reported doing in 2016

Long beach basket brigade was able to fundraise through a Texas hold 'em and bunco event. In turn, this will help to make more gift baskets.

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 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. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
