Overview
Mission
Historic preservation and hands-on training.
What it reported doing in 2025
Community Engagement in Gyumri, Armenia: 5 volunteers gave 245 hours to repair damaged walls at a museum housed in a historic building. The museum hosts hundreds of visitors each year. Volunteers also engaged with women entrepreneurs running small businesses that highlight Armenian culture - stone masonry, rug weaving, historic costumes.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 76% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and assets have declined or grown slowly.
