Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.

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.
