Overview

Mission

The organizations primary mission is to provide cash rewards to the general public for information provided in connection with the apprehension and conviction of persons who have committed felony crimes.

What it reported doing in 2025

The organization has only one program service and that is to provide cash rewards to the general public for information provided in connection with the apprehension and conviction of persons who have committed felony crimes.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
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 a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
