Overview

Mission

To strengthen civic participation and community resilience through educational initiatives, support for independent media, access to reliable information, and programs that promote human rights, economic inclusion, and public engagement

What it reported doing in 2025

Programs informed Cuban and Cuban-American audiences by placing issues related to human rights, sustainable development, legal education, economic and social inclusion, and government transparency through independent media and public-interest content in the public agenda.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 86% 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. The filing reports few safeguards for money sent abroad and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
