Overview

Mission

The German-American Community Project, Inc. was founded for the purpose of Educating the U.S. public about German culture in the New York Metropolitan Area

What it reported doing in 2011

The website provides timely information for German cultural events, organizations, and resources in the New York Metropolitan Area. Biweekly free newsletters are sent to the registered users of the website. All listings of events and institutions on the website are free.

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

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
