Overview
Mission
Our mission is to help our younger generation redefine organ donation advocacy. We believe that by sharing real, factual information with teens and young adults they will make an educated and informed decision about organ and tissue donation. Whether we bring that information to them in classrooms, through campus clubs and events, as guest speakers, through social media, podcasts, docuseries or at sporting events, youth clubs and community events, the maddog strong foundation is committed to building awareness within the youth community of the need for life-saving organ and tissue donation.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 100% 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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
