Operating model

Distribution model
Hybrid. The nonprofit split its reported program spending across 54% for direct work, 12% for grants, and 34% for member benefits.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. The filing does not identify recipients for some grant dollars and expenses are high relative to revenue.
