What it reported doing in 2025
Prison program - this program goes to prisons and communicates the crime stoppers message. Prisoners are encouraged to call in when they hear of information regarding crimes. Visits are made regularly with new messages that play on monitors in the prisons. Telephones are set up in the prisons that allow prisoners to call crime stoppers in a secure manner. Faith based program - crime stoppers has a faith based outreach program which takes the crime stoppers message to the churches and church groups. Crime stoppers provides speakers to church and community meetings to share the crime stoppers message of safety in the community. Anonymous tip program - crime stoppers has a call center and rewards program which incurs the expenses of the call center services and the rewards paid out for successful tips. The remote call center provides a safe and anonymous way for a potential tipster to call in with information of a local crime, and to receive a reward if their tip is used in solving the crime and leading to an arrest.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 96% 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 - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
