Overview

Mission

Resale of charitable gifts (primarily donated autos) whose net proceeds are distributed to charities that support children's causes.

What it reported doing in 2011

Fees and services needed to solicit, document and resell donated autos.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 100% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 99% 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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
