Overview

Mission

Help communities increase intercultural knowledge or competence.

What it reported doing in 2011

In addition to the African American Heritage Corridor, we acquired the World Cultural Heritage District program and started the Ethnic Cultural Tourism Destinations Collaborative. We held the first ECTD Conference this year. We also became fiscal agent for the City of Saint Paul HREEO EMS Academy and NAACP RACE award. Program services expenses cover all these programs.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 95% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
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 program spending has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.

Key Signals

Signals prioritize questions for review. They are not findings of misconduct.

Grant-readiness screening is separate from the live rating, not a measure of program quality. Review the source records before making a grant decision.
