Overview

Mission

American solutions is a tri-partisan citizen action network creating the next generation of solutions that will ensure that the united states remains the safest, most free and prosperous country in the world.

What it reported doing in 2014

Operating model

Revenue model: Earned-program. 96% 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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
