What it reported doing in 2025
Radio and cyber arts' program ARTEFUSION - An hour long, weekly radio and Internet program about the arts including sign language as part of the concept. The first and only radio/cyber program that brings access to the Deaf, via Internet. Due to the COVID, this project was and still is only transmitted via Internet. An on-going project since 2011. Funds were received from Instituto de Cultura Puertorriqueña, Legislative Funds. Benefited persons (per week): 200 approx.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Grant-funded. 96% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
- 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
MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
