Overview

Mission

This program was launched to help families from abroad that are in the united states due to serious illness. When a local family generously agrees to support a guest family with weekly funds, adopt a family facilitates the transfer of these funds from sponsor family to recipient family. This enables guest famiilias to pay for any of their general needs while they are abroad.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Grant intermediary. The nonprofit sent 100% of its reported program spending out as grants.

The verdict

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
