Operating model

- Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent spending detail to tell whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.
The verdict
STRONG - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Some filed totals do not add up and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
