Operating model

- Distribution model
- Grant intermediary. The nonprofit sent 91% of its reported program spending out as grants.

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. The filing does not identify recipients for some grant dollars and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
