Overview

Mission

Private Independent Foundations

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the foundation's positive operating resources came from contributions.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The foundation carried out 100% of its reported charitable disbursements directly.

The verdict

AVOID - The strongest available result is that the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of spending goes to grants and the filing does not identify all grant recipients.
