Overview
Mission
The mission of moab solutions is to reduce and eliminate the waste of materials and human potential while nurturing the well-being of the natural world. We protect and restore natural areas, help the homeless help themselves, and promote the benefits of respect, rethink, reduce, reuse, and recycle practices. At our core is a deep respect for and love of the natural world, and all lives that depend on it.
What it reported doing in 2025
Homeless assistance: moab solutions offers a variety of services to people in need in our community, including the homeless. We primarily provide referrals to local social service agencies, through our street-level outreach. When direct financial resources are required, we activate our emergency needs fund, a separate account that deals with emergency needs and takes requests from law enforcement, non-profits, agencies, churches and individuals. Some examples of services provided include: (1) camp cleanups to improve living conditions, and foster relationships that lead to social services, (2) training in recycling sorting: pride and job skills are promoted by teaching the homeless to sort and maintain recycling, and (3) social services & direct assistance: connecting the indigent with shelter, medical care, rehab, and job training.
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
- Hybrid. The nonprofit split its reported program spending across 67% for direct work, and 33% for grants.
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 reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
