Overview

Mission

To provide assistance to children and families who are transculturally mobile.

What it reported doing in 2025

Interaction provides training, seminars, publications and resources to help the third-culture kid community (third culture kids, parents, educators, caregivers and others) by providing information, help and resources.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 66% 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. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
