Overview

Mission

The Redress Movement engages in charitable and educational activities related to empowering multi-racial community-based organizations to document the history of segregation in their communities and take action to redress these inequities.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 99% 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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and most voting board members are independent. Expenses are high relative to revenue and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
