Operating model
- Revenue model
- Membership-supported. 83% of the money available for current operations came from membership dues.

- 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
