What they do
WE ARE IN THE PHASE WHERE IT is ABOUT MAINTAINING and UPGRADING OUR FACILITIES and EQUIPMENT. THERE WERE SUBSTANTIAL IMPROVEMENTS to OUR WATERLINE AT MIRACLE BAY IN ALASKA AS WELL AS REPAIRING and SERVICING NUMEROUS GENERATORS. OUR VEHICLES HAVE BEEN FIXED and REPAIRED, and THEY ARE IN GOOD RUNNING ORDER. MIRACLE BAY BOATS HAVE BEEN IMPROVED WITH LIGHTING, ELECTRONICS and SAFETY EQUIPMENT. GOING INTO 2026 WE WILL BE EXPANDING OUR BOAT LINE WITH 2 MORE FUNCTIONING BOATS. BOTH OUR FACILITIES ARE to THE POINT WHERE WE NO LONGER HAVE MAJOR BUILDING PROJECTS, ALL HAVE BEEN COMPLETED INSIDE and OUT. WE ARE CURRENTLY NEGOTIATING AN AGREEMENT ON A PIECE of PROPERTY to EXPAND OUR ABILITY to HOUSE MORE PEOPLE and STORE ALL OUR EQUIPMENT RATHER THAN PAYING for A LEASE to RENT GROUND to DO SO IN ALASKA. WE HAVE INCREASED OUR PARTICIPATION IMPACT WITH THE PUBLIC BY HAVING A BOOTH AT THREE ADDITIONAL SPORT SHOWS to CREATE MORE AWARENESS of WHAT WE DO and WHY. THE RESULTS WE HAVE SEEN SO FAR WITH EXP

Money made simple
Ask these three easy questions
- Who did you help? Ask for a recent story or report that shows real results.
- What will my money do? Ask exactly what your gift will pay for.
- Is this really the charity? Give only through its official website or confirmed phone number.
Bottom line: Do not decide from a name, mission statement, or tax status alone. Look at where the money went, then ask what changed, who was helped, and what your gift will do. YouCanGiveBack does not endorse or grade organizations.
Financial picture
A plain-language look at the latest Form 990 figures available. These numbers help you ask better questions; they do not, by themselves, rate whether a charity is good or bad.
How each $100 of revenue was used
The large number compares each expense with revenue. The smaller number shows its share of total expenses.
Gray means reported revenue left after expenses for this filing year. It does not necessarily mean cash sitting in a bank account.
Has the pattern changed?
Colored bars = expense mix: how each year’s expenses were divided. Total expenses vs. revenue shows whether the charity spent less or more than it received. The current filing is first.
Money in and money out
Reported spending amounts
