Overview

Mission

To support the city of joplin, Missouri, its people and businesses, by providing assistance in the reestablishment of employment opportunities and businesses in the joplin area.

Operating model

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

SUPPORTED - 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.
