Overview
Mission
West Coast Charity for Children provides underprivileged children and organizations that help those kids with the things they need most.

West coast charity operates a car donation program focused on receiving donated vehicles, restoring them to working order, and passing them on to needy families. In 2015, 14 cars were given away.
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 - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
