Overview

Mission

Our organization is composed of a dedicated group of men and women determined to inspire independence and mobility. The organization achieves this by fundraising, building and giving away AmTryke(R) adaptive tricycles to children who are otherwise unable to ride a regular bike.

What it reported doing in 2024

We used the proceeds of miscellaneous donations to purchase new adaptive tricycles and spare parts to reconfigure and repair used adaptive tricycles to giveaway to children and youth with special needs throughout the fiscal year.

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 97% 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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
