Operating model
- Revenue model
- Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.

The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and expenses are high relative to revenue.
