Mission

The planned activities of this organization are to raise money to pay for crime tips from anonymous "tipsters" and provide the information received to the various law enforcement agencies, the media and the overall community in the Orange county region to arrest criminals from the information received by offering rewards to anonymous individuals who provide information leading to an arrest. There are currently over 300 Crimestoppers programs worldwide. The organizations activities will provide a bridge between the community, law enforcement and the media. The Crimestoppers program allows a tipster complete anonymity and facilitates law enforcement agencies additional ways to investigate crimes and provide information across various agency boards. This allows cross jurisdictional access and ability to work together to have a virtual free flow of information while maintaining the "tipster's" anonymity. Crimestoppers' tips are sent to the appropriate agency and division for follow-up inve

Each tax year counts once: when a return was amended, only the latest return for that period is used below (superseded returns stay listed, greyed, under Finances).

People paid by the organization

1 person paid across every filing: current people first, then by total pay from this organization. Organizations counts every nonprofit each person appears on.

Officers and directors, no compensation reported

19 people listed on the returns with $0 (or no amount) in every compensation column: current people first. Hours are as filed on the latest return each person appears on.

People by year

Who gave

Contributor names are not public for this form type.

Public charities filing Form 990 or 990-EZ report large donors on Schedule B, but the IRS withholds their names and addresses from public copies. Private foundations (990-PF) are different: their contributors are public.

Finances

Newest first. Each filing: its name on one row, its figures on the row beneath. Greyed filings are superseded by a later return for the same period and are left out everywhere else on this page.

Funders of this organization

Not reported: no grants to this organization appear in the filings we have (tax years 2010 to 2025).

Where the money went

Every expense line on each return, biggest first: Form 990 Part IX (with its program, management and fundraising columns), 990-EZ Part I, or 990-PF Part I. Event marks lines the organization itself describes as events. “Events” in each summary adds those lines, conferences and meetings, and the direct costs of fundraising events. Unusual is not the same as improper. Many of these patterns have ordinary explanations. Check the filing.
