Overview

Mission

Private Grantmaking Foundations

What it reported funding in 2013

The foundation reported 4 filed grant rows totaling $111,946. The stated grant purpose was charitable.

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this foundation funds its work.
Distribution model
Grant intermediary. The foundation distributed 100% of its reported charitable disbursements as grants.
  • Includes asset-sale income: Asset-sale income is shown separately from recurring resources when classifying the revenue model.

The verdict

MIXED - The filing identifies who received its grants and the filing clearly reports transactions involving insiders. Assets provide a limited cushion relative to annual grants and some filed totals do not add up.
