Overview
Mission
This corporation is organized exclusively for charitable and educational purposes, including, for such purposes, the making of monetary and educational material distributions to organizations that qualify as exempt organizations under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, or the corresponding section of any future federal tax code. More Than Walking Incorporated's specific purpose is to provide therapeutic and peer mentor guidance to assist persons with spinal cord injuries to successfully reintegrate into their communities. To accomplish this, the Corporation will engage in the film production and distribution of independence skills demonstrations by spinal cord injured persons and rehabilitation therapists. The Corporation will also seek out partner organizations worldwide with which to collaborate in producing and distributing demonstration videos, disseminating information about local community resources, and offering other support to persons with spinal cord injuries.
What it reported doing in 2024
For the continued development of an online video course and community for sharing skills for independence after spinal cord injury/disease, we provided peer mentor assistance and referred dozens of individuals to our mentor volunteers, ran a monthly video podcast support group, and provided peer navigation in partnership with SPINALpedia.com, run by the Determined2Heal Foundation, which paid More Than Walking for its services. More Than Walking collaborated with other disability advocates to support individuals with spinal cord injuries in Nigeria for emergency health needs.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 80% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 99% 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 program spending has grown recently. 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.
