Overview

Mission

Safehavens' mission is to support international child wellbeing in a sustainable way, by investing in and collaborating with partners and their communities.

What it reported doing in 2024

During 2024, the organization was involved in education and health projects. Education projects primarily included partnering with alpine learning hub to create the neighborhood library project, which is transforming a small library in nepal into a vibrant learning center. Health projects primarily included working with partners to understand the children's functional hearing and means to maximize their social communication skills.

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

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
