Overview

Mission

Redbird is a Native American and environmental charitable and educational association. The primary population we serve is tribal, indigenous, mixed heritage, low income and high risk youth, adults and elders. We do not discriminate based on race, ethnicity, tribal enrollment, socio-economic factors, gender, political or religious affiliations or lack thereof.

What it reported doing in 2025

Highway 2 Motorcycle Track Days on Horse Thief Mile, Willow Springs International Raceway Motorcycle technical skills events with emphasis on control, turning, braking and managing a motorcycle in canyon conditions. This program began in December 2019 as a response to the high accident rate and death toll on the Angeles Crest Highway, which is the main artery through the Angeles National Forest, where Redbird owns and operates the Chilao School property. The program involves relatively high risk and a high expense ratio, but it also has great potential rewards. We are directly influencing how people ride motorcycles and helping them improve their chances of responding appropriately in an emergency situation.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 62% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 98% 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 total assets are large relative to annual expenses, but may not be spendable cash. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
