Mission

Mountain State Safety Action is a social welfare organization engaged in community education and grassroots persuasion efforts centered around public safety, criminal justice, education, and other issues affecting the general well-being of American.

What it reported doing in 2024

Survey research to measure community attitudes and awareness on issues related to public safety and program development.

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. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
