Overview

Mission

Circulate culture and promote education in China. The donations were sent to China to support several poor students to further their study.

What it reported doing in 2010

The Huihuang and Tengyueli Scholarship program are developed to help poor students in China to secure an opportunity of being educated. The scholarship was transferred to China and granted to the students who have achieved good studying results. During calendar year 2010, among the four students who received our scholarship, two students were admitted to Peking University (the topmost university in China), and one was admitted to University of Science and Techonology of China (also a top ranking university in China), and another entered Brown University with full scholarship.

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 99% of its reported program spending out as grants.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and expenses are high relative to revenue.
