Overview

Mission

Private Independent Foundations

What it reported funding in 2020

The foundation reported 2 filed grant rows totaling $100. The stated grant purpose was exclusively charitable, religious, educational, literary and scientific purposes.

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this foundation funds its work.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The foundation carried out 99% of its reported charitable disbursements directly.

The verdict

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and the filing identifies who received its grants. A relatively small share of spending goes to grants and the available information about grant readiness automatic revocation leaves an important question unanswered.
