Overview

Mission

Noh8 fights discrimination and educates on issues related to marriage, gender, and human equality.

What it reported doing in 2024

The noh8 campaign continued its program of holding public open photo shoots. Noh8 campaign held events in major cities and at each of the locations, hundreds of individuals arrive with their friends, families, partners, and loved ones to participate in an open photo shoot. In a spirited atmosphere of camaraderie and community, volunteers help ready the participants for their photos, which are then taken by celebrity photographer adam bouska. The photos of individuals, alone or in groups, with duct tape covering the subject's mouth and the trademarked noh8 logo affixed to the subject's cheek are processed and posted on the noh8 campaign website.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 69% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
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

SUPPORTED - 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 program spending has declined or grown slowly.
