Overview

Mission

Ms run the us is dedicated to raising awareness and funds for those living with multiple sclerosis (ms) - to provide hope, to aid those living with disability from the disease and to support research to stop it.

What it reported doing in 2024

America's longest relay run is a 3,260-mile, coast-to-coast relay completed by approximately 21 runners over 19 weeks. Participants raise awareness and funds for multiple sclerosis while engaging communities across the united states through education, storytelling, and outreach. The relay also serves as a transformative wellbeing experience, bringing together individuals affected by ms in a supportive team environment where they build resilience, discover purpose, and inspire hope through shared challenge.

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 87% 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 most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
