Operating model

Earned-program. 80% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model

The verdict

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