Overview
Mission
Mission fishin partners with local fisherman, businesses, and organizations to provide our clients with unforgettable marine excursions. These excursions include but are not limited to: deep sea fishing, inshore fishing, sight-seeing, cruising, and more through these experiences we desire to: provide joy, hope, purpose, and inclusion for special needs children and children with disabilities through fun interactive marine excursions not typical for individuals with special needs or disabilities. Provide unforgettable experiences for typical siblings of special needs or disabled children through marine excursions not normally available to them. Additionally, we hope to bring unity to siblings through shared experiences not common to these families. Provide parents of special needs and disabled children the freedom to relax, have fun, and enjoy themselves without the demands and responsibilities that come along with parenting their special needs or disabled children. Provide rewarding exp
What it reported doing in 2022
Schools initiative: many schools serving the special needs populations are under resourced and have low staff retention, and family anxiety due to these things, particularly the broward county public schools. We believe that resourcing the schools, blessing the caretakers or staff, and creating environments that parents are happy to leave their kids in serves many purposes. The kids have the proper equipment and environments to learn and thrive at their level/ability, the staff have the proper items to do their job and are blessed, which leads to higher morale and less turnover. One of the most damaging things for kids with special needs is change, especially change to people they are attached to, so the less turnover with staff in these facilities, the less mental duress for the children and parents. The parents also can leave their kids in a place where they know they will be properly taken care of, which gives them the peace they need to go make a living, etc. This initiative has served approximately 2500 kids, families, and staff.
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
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
