Overview
Mission
To promote a free and democratic Cuba.
What it reported doing in 2016
The organization sponsored several community activities to further the cause for a Cuban democracy.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Affiliate-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions from related organizations.
- 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 - 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.
