Overview

Mission

Private Grantmaking Foundations

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. The foundation's positive operating resources came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Hybrid. The foundation combined direct charitable work with grants to other organizations or people.
  • Includes asset-sale income: Asset-sale income is shown separately from recurring resources when classifying the revenue model.

The verdict

AVOID - The strongest available result is that the filed numbers largely add up. The filing does not identify all grant recipients and a relatively small share of spending goes to grants.
