Wilson Assisted Living Supplies: Distributed program materials and supplies directly to residents ($391). Food Drive ? Medical Pantry: Supplied essentials for ECU Doctors Park Drive ($232). Operational / Administrative Support: Included ink and supplies, website hosting, domain registration and maintenance, business cards, professional liability insurance, sacramental and liturgical supplies ($1,041).Bank Service Charges: Account maintenance fees ($40). Total Program Service Expenses: $2,016

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

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
