Overview
Mission
ReSpawn Foundation is making adaptive gaming to make it a standard in rehabilitation.
What it reported doing in 2025
In 2025, ReSpawn Foundation partnered with one hospital. We established a formal Memorandum of Understanding with partner hospital to deliver training and support to rehabilitation clinicians. We impacted around 50 people and worked with around 100 volunteers.
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
SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. 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.
