Overview

Mission

At The Moore Wright Group, we are driven by a shared vision of creating communities where everyone can thrive. Together, we are committed to breaking the cycle of poverty, abuse, and abandonment in our community by providing hope.

What it reported doing in 2023

We spent $161,534 on travel and distribution; this allowed our staff to attend trainings to better serve our communities. We spent $12,458 on vehicles and equipment; this was because we traveled with participants to appointments, we distributed goods to community partners, and we purchased and maintained vehicles to help us fulfill our mission. We also spent $4,498 on insurance; this was to ensure that our goods, vehicles, facilities, and staff were protected and we could fulfill our mission while in compliance with various federal and state requirements.

Operating model

Donor-supported. 81% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Grant intermediary. The nonprofit sent 76% of its reported program spending out as grants.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filing does not identify recipients for some grant dollars.
