Earned-program. 75% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
