Overview

Mission

The foundation was formed to benefit victims of natural disasters. The purpose is to provide charitable, educational, medical and scientific assistance to the people of the affected areas.

What it reported doing in 2024

Provided disaster relief in areas affected by hurricanes formed in the atlantic ocean during the year, providing direct aid to people in the affected areas and medical supplies, doctors, food, and water.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 99% 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 most voting board members are independent. The filing reports few safeguards for money sent abroad and the filing does not identify recipients for some grant dollars.
