Overview

Mission

We improve the quality of life at Camp Pendleton by: Providing free furniture for enlisted military families, Supporting morale-building events and gifts for children, Building and maintaining memorials, Providing financial grants for education and emergency assistance

What it reported doing in 2025

Base Project: free shopping for about 200 families a week so they can get free housewares and furniture - particularly clothing for newly born children up to about 5 years of age.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% 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

MIXED - A large share of total spending goes to programs and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of voting board members are independent and a relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work.
