Overview

Mission

The Corporate Fund's mission is to administer, maintain, care, repair, and enhance the Historic St. Joseph Catholic Cemetery by improving and enhancing the Cemetery's presence in the City of Baton Rouge and requiring that thegraves, tombs, and monuments be maintained for historicalpurposes with the approval of the pastor of St. Joseph Cathedral wherein the said churchparish is the designated owner of the Cemetery.

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
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 - A large share of total spending goes to programs and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and the available information about grant readiness automatic revocation leaves an important question unanswered.
