Overview

Mission

We support families and children of wars pertaining to health and education. We work with middle eastern non-governmental organizations to provide dignity packages, medical supplies and equipment to war victims.

What it reported doing in 2024

Established in 2017, the st. Rita foundation for children provides humanitarian assistance to individuals affected by the syrian civil war, regardless of faith or background. The foundation's programs include food basket distribution (its primary project), clothing and medication support, assistance with surgery costs, and educational aid such as school supplies and tuition for college students. The foundation maintains minimal administrative expenses, as its founders-originally from syria-donate their time and collaborate with local volunteers and non-governmental organizations to organize and deliver aid efficiently.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Grant intermediary. The nonprofit sent 100% of its reported program spending out as grants.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and the filing reports few safeguards for money sent abroad.
