Overview

Mission

Educational Scientific Charitable

What it reported doing in 2017

The Corporation operates exclusively for Educational Scientific and Charitable purposes within the meaning of Section 501c3 of the Internal Revenue Code

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
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 total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
