Overview
Mission
Charitable - Volunteer Search and Rescue Services
What it reported doing in 2025
PNWSAR trains its members in search and rescue techniques and skills. It maintains equipment and volunteers in readiness for calls for assistance from county sheriffs.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 86% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- 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. A relatively small share of total spending goes to programs and expenses are high relative to revenue.
