About Us

WHY DO WE EXIST?

Search and Rescue organizations and law enforcement agencies often lack the funding and personnel required to continue searching for lost or missing individuals after the initial life-saving efforts end. These organizations must prioritize their resources for immediate life-saving missions, leaving them unable to extend searches beyond their initial efforts.

This is where PNWMPP steps in. Our team currently takes on 3 cases each year, Providing the support and resources necessary to continue these critical searches in an attempt to bring closure to friends and family who are left to grieve while not knowing where their loved-one is.

IMPORTANT: PNWMPP is NOT a Search and Rescue organization.

How PNWMPP is Funded:

PNWMPP is a nonprofit, volunteer organization funded by donations, grants, and fundraisers. Our dedicated and self-less volunteers spend countless hours of their free time searching for signs of missing persons whose cases have gone cold, often in remote and treacherous terrain of the Pacific Northwest.

PNWMPP is funded through donations and grants, which cover the essential costs of search operations, including equipment, fuel, and logistical support. To minimize expenses, the PNWMPP team forgoes staying in hotels while on missions, instead opting for more cost-effective accommodations like camping or using their vehicles. This approach allows the organization to allocate more resources directly to search efforts, ensuring that every dollar contributes to our mission.
