What it reported doing in 2025
In january 2021, the organization entered into a five-year firm fixed price contract with the office of personnel management (opm) for service in connection with the combined federal campaign (cfc). The cfc is the annual workplace charity campaign for federal employees. The primary focus of the contract is the administration and distribution of donated funds to charities, as well as maintenance of the system. Additional revenue opportunities, which include an authority to operate (ato) audit and multi-factor authentication (mfa) development, are included within the contract if the parties agree to additional system enhancements in the future.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 95% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Grant intermediary. The nonprofit sent 65% of its reported program spending out as grants.
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 total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
