Overview

Mission

The California 9-11 memorial in clovis, ca was created in remembrance of the 2,977 people killed on september 11, 2001. The organization's mission is to continue to educate the public about the 9/11 attacks and honor the heroes and innocent civilians who perished.

What it reported doing in 2024

The California 9-11 memorial partnered with the fresno county superintendent of schools to promote and establish the one voice event, a musical event which brings together students from local junior high and high schools, as well as community members. Students were also invited to participate in an art, poetry, and logo contest for scholarship opportunities.

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
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 a large share of total spending goes to programs. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and expenses are high relative to revenue.
