Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
When Gene Roddenberry helped create The Federation, he wanted the organization to eventually grow to the stature of The Salvation Army and The Peace Corps in our scope of helping those in need around the world. In addition, our goal is to send 100% of donations to our humanitarian funds to those in need. Our operating costs will be covered by our sale of merchandise, allowing all funds donated to help others to go to help those in need.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
Public relations, advertising, outreach. Spreading the world means more volunteers and our 501(c)3 status allows donors to give with full tax benefits. That allows us to help more in need.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
Robust web capabilities. Connections to the Roddenberry family and Roddenberry Productions. A dedicated team of volunteers around the world.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
For over 32 years we have helped more people than we can count. From giving up holidays to feed the homeless, to being official Toys For Tots coordinators, to delivering toys to kids around the world and so much more, we have helped so many people. We want to do so much more now more than ever.
