What it reported doing in 2025

Donations and expenses

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 88% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.

Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent spending detail to tell whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.

The verdict

REVIEW - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
