Overview

Mission

Food Distribution. The organization distributes food in India and the United States. The Ashland Oregon food distribution program provides nourishing food to those in need on a weekly basis.

What it reported doing in 2010

Café Namaste at Well Springs Ashland Oregon. This program provides daily food distribution program. It provides a space for GSF to hold fund raising events such as health fairs and music in order to solicit donations from the public and educate the community about our services and outreach.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
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 and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Expenses are high relative to revenue and the available information about grant readiness automatic revocation leaves an important question unanswered.
