Overview

Mission

IL facilitates partnerships between donors, advisors and nonprofits to grow giving and trasform society.

What it reported doing in 2012

Inspired Legacies supported individual donors and their familes in the execution of their philanthropic and leadership planning

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 83% 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.
