Overview

Mission

The mission of the steel standing memorial foundation is to assist those in desperate need who have been impacted by natural, and man-made disaster, war, famine, and disease. Our mission is clear: to utilize the "steel standing" image, to honor the spirit of courage, strength, resilience and rebirth to inspire all people to never give up hope.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 100% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 99% 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 the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
