Overview

Mission

Award college scholarships

Operating model

Revenue model
Investment-supported. 87% of the money available for current operations came from recurring investment income.
Distribution model
Grant intermediary. The nonprofit sent 81% of its reported program spending out as grants.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration and the available information about grant readiness automatic revocation leaves an important question unanswered.
