Overview
Mission
Private Independent Foundations
What it reported funding in 2015
The foundation reported 14 grants totaling $5,052. The stated grant purposes included charitable and educational.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 100% of the foundation's positive operating resources came from contributions.
- Distribution model
- Grant intermediary. The foundation distributed 100% of its reported charitable disbursements as grants.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - A large share of spending goes to grants and the filing identifies who received its grants. Assets provide a limited cushion relative to annual grants and the available information about grant readiness automatic revocation leaves an important question unanswered.
