What it reported funding in 2014

Operating model
- Revenue model
- Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this foundation funds its work.
- Distribution model
- Grant intermediary. The foundation distributed 100% of its reported charitable disbursements as grants.
The verdict
MIXED - The filing identifies who received its grants and a large share of spending goes to grants. The available information about grant readiness automatic revocation leaves an important question unanswered.
