Overview

Mission

Operation Blue Pride's mission is to welcome veterans who suffered from physical injuries and hidden wounds of war (such as post traumatic stress, traumatic brain injuries and depression)into the scuba diving community. Also to help these veterans share their experiences by mentoring other veterans and pursuing marine conservation efforts.

What it reported doing in 2024

Our U.S. service members are now facing an even greater challenge reintegrating back into society after multiple deployments. Many of these brave men and women are returning to civilian life with physical injuries and are also suffering with the hidden wounds of war, such as post traumatic stress, traumatic brain injuries and depression.

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 total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
