Overview
Mission
Private Grantmaking Foundations
What it reported funding in 2017
The foundation reported 21 grants totaling $16,156. The stated grant purpose was general support.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 100% of the foundation's positive operating resources came from contributions.

- 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. Assets provide a limited cushion relative to annual grants and the available information about grant readiness automatic revocation leaves an important question unanswered.
