What it reported funding in 2017

The foundation reported 7 grants totaling $16,900. The stated grant purpose was grants.

Operating model

Revenue model
Investment-supported. 100% of the foundation's positive operating resources came from recurring investment income.
Distribution model
Grant intermediary. The foundation distributed 97% 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 state registration leaves an important question unanswered.
