- Distribution model
- Hybrid. The nonprofit split its reported program spending across 70% for direct work, and 30% for grants.

The verdict
SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and most voting board members are independent. The filing reports few safeguards for money sent abroad and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
