Overview

Mission

"International Sports and Music Project provides access to sports and music programs for children and young people in shelters, refugee camps, orphanages, schools, and vulnerable communities around the world, supporting positive mental health, belonging, expression, and opportunity."

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% 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

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and program spending has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
