Pacific Northwest Missing Persons Project is a nonprofit organization, as of June 4th, 2024 we have submitted paperwork to the IRS requesting tax-exemption as a nationally recognized 501(C)(3).If you'd like to contact our team, support our organizations mission, or donate directly to our team please visit our website:www.pnwmpp.orgWhy 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 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. We provide the support and resources necessary to continue these critical searches, attempting to bring closure to friends and family who are left to grieve while not knowing where their loved-one is.
