Overview

Mission

The Julia Helen Smith foundation was created to honor the memory of Julia and to support some of the passions and causes that Julia cared about most. Julia was passionate about tennis, surfing, basketball, music, service, social issues, and education. The foundation will grant three primary types of awards.

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
Distribution model
Transfer-based 990-EZ. The 990-EZ reports grants or member benefits, but it does not separate enough spending to show the nonprofit’s full delivery mix.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Revenue has declined or grown slowly and expenses are high relative to revenue.
