Overview
Mission
To be a fiscal agent that raises funds for capacity-building systems operated by local non-governmental organizations (NGOs). Although not a ministry of the Sisters of St Joseph Carondelet, GRC is associated with individual members of laity-led organizations(associates, consociates, La Famila DeJose, and Ohana), which are related by charism to the congregation of the Sisters of St Josept of Carondelet (CSJ). We achieve our mission by working with individuals, and other strategically like-minded organizations to: 1. Provide direction to local NGOs to ensure alignment of needs, goals, and measurement. 2. Educate potential funders about the need to empower selected communities in their efforts to alleviate poverty by initiating development projects such as water and sanitation, infrastructure, economic development, education, healthcare, and other charitable works. 3. Raise Funds from individuals, foundations and other organizations

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
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.
