Overview

Mission

Give families of critical ill children specialized photography sessions.

We serve critically-ill children and their families with larger-than-life portrait sessions. The intent of these sessions is to give families pictures and memories that they will cherish forever; whether the child overcomes the illness or not.

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

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and program spending has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
