Overview

Mission

Unified potential is primarily devoted to building systems that enable people to make connections. In particular, these systems will enable access for under-resourced groups to whom existing systems are inaccessible. Doing business as moveup, unified potential provides persons with connections to non-profit transportation options. The system is designed to be accessible by all individuals, regardless of age or functional status. These groups include but are not limited to: ambulatory adults with limited financial means; children who may need to be transported with the consent of parents or guardians but without an adult present; adults who need additional assistance and are thus somewhat vulnerable such as elderly; disabled individuals in folding or electric wheelchairs; or even those with more advanced medical needs such as traveling with a caregiver or requiring a non-emergent ambulance transport.

What it reported doing in 2024

Provides persons with connections to non-profit transportation options.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 82% 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. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
