Overview

Mission

Group charitable contributions to benefit many charities.

What it reported doing in 2012

Made charitable contributions as a group to benefit multiple charities in central/southern Ohio and northern Kentucky areas.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent spending detail to tell whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filed totals do not add up and expenses are high relative to revenue.
