Overview

Mission

The mission of Vacation is a Human Right is to raise awareness of the importance of breaks as a means of preventing burnout through counseling, guidance, training and rest experiences for companies and individuals.

What it reported doing in 2025

The 15,017 in funds contributed to the conference in Spain on worker burnout. The 3,261 expense was the direct cost of the event, excluding operational expenses.

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

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of voting board members are independent.
