Overview
Mission
Up & running again's mission is to assist people seeking to overcome economic poverty. We do this by training people to complete a half-marathon. The goal setting and sense of accomplishment it inspires translates toward a path of lifelong success.
What it reported doing in 2024
Up and running again trained 104 participants who live in homeless shelters to complete a half marathon. We do this by providing running shoes, coaching, training materials, entry fees, and running attire to our runners who otherwise could not afford it. The organization trained participants in 11 locations and had 84 volunteers.
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
STRONG - 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 liabilities are high compared with assets.
