Overview

Mission

Volunteer San Diego engages more than 40,000 individuals, businesses, youth and families with nonprofit organizations throughout San Diego County that meet their interests and availability. Volunteers provide services that include assisting San Diego County seniors, protecting the environment, mentoring youth, and providing meals to the hungry.

What it reported doing in 2011

Corporate programs - the organization provides businesses with volunteer opportunities for their employees, which includes hands on san diego, and assistance with developing and strengthening employee volunteer programs. Community volunteer programs - the organization provides over 90 on-going evening and weekend volunteer opportunities for individuals and connects individuals and groups with nonprofit agencies in need of volunteers.

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
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 available resources goes toward mission work. Revenue has declined or grown slowly and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
