Overview
Mission
Native Roots Network serves as a hub for community members to come together to build a better world. Through our work with youth leadership development, cultural exchanges, traditional and contemporary Native arts, ceremonial run delegations and community wellness projects we help our community maximize and multiply their efforts and impacts.
What it reported doing in 2024
Natives Getting Active: Since March 2015, Natives Getting Active has been meeting every Monday night to support walking and running as pathways to health - without fail. The group meets at the Sundial Bridge in Redding, CA to support one another in being active. Group members also participate in local runs, races and ceremonial runs here in our community and elsewhere.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 94% 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
MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
