Overview
Mission
OneWhale's mission is to protect and advocate for Hvaldimir while we champion for his future in the wild and to be with other belugas. Our efforts include co-founding the Norwegian Whale Reserve, with the vision to free other whales from captivity and provide them a safe life in the ocean.
What it reported doing in 2024
Second full year of operations we raised awareness of our program to save whales both in the USA and other countries in the world.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
- 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
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.
