Overview

Mission

In 2017 Noah's Wish conducted 7 one day training sessions throughout California. Participants were trained on individual and community disaster planning as well as recovering after a disaster. Each of the groups hosting the event were $2,500 to start their own disaster plan.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent spending detail to tell whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.

The verdict

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
