Overview

Mission

The Good Night Foundation seeks to make all parts of the world safe, healthy and desirable places to live and visit, by providing financial support to organizations and initatives worldwide focusing on health, education, poverty alleviation and the environment.

What it reported doing in 2010

The Foundation addresses global challenges by funding programs focused on health, education, poverty alleviation, and the environment. The Foundation is funded via contributions from travelers to various hotels and resorts throughout the United States who elect an additional charge on their accommodations bill to give to the Foundation. It partners with leading hoteliers, through the generosity of their caring guests, to raise funds to support local and global programs in an effort to make all parts of the world safe, healthy, desirable places to live and visit. Fifty percent of the proceeds remain in the community in which they were collected, supporting an organization selected by hthe hotel staff.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent spending detail to tell whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
