Based in Boone, North Carolina, Samaritan’s Purse is a nondenominational Christian organization that provides “spiritual and physical aid to hurting people around the world.” How do they do this? Primarily through grants (i.e. transporting shoebox gifts: a box filled with toys, supplies, and hygiene items) which for the past few years average 27% of revenue because Samaritan’s Purse focused on building up net assets and to do this they spent significantly less than they collected: Samaritan’s Purse only spent $67 out of every $100 raised but in actual dollars (meaning non-cash contributions and non-cash grants which are almost exactly the same amount), Samaritan’s Purse only spent $59 out of every $100 in cash raised which means the organizations added $300 million to savings in 2021 (note: in 2020, Samaritan’s Purse added about $224 million to savings) which had $1.2 billion in net assets at year-end 2021.
