Operating model

Revenue model
Grant-funded. 99% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
