Overview
Mission
The foundation shall be organized and operated exclusively for charitable, educational, and scientific purposes, including, but not limited to, making of distributions to only those organizations that qualify as exempt organizations under the IRS code section 501(c)(3), as amended. Accordingly, the foundation conducts research and presents educational events regarding the early origins of chronic disease. This is carried out, in part, with studies using imaging technologies of children who had poor nutrition and growth before birth and related studies of women's diets and babies growth prior to birth. The information gathered through the research activities is then provided to the public, industry, and the scientific community through a variety of methods such as articles, publications, speaking engagements, and conferences.
What it reported doing in 2015
Educational literature regarding nutrition and growth before birth and related studies of women's diets and babies growth prior to birth.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
- 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
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
