Overview

Mission

The

What it reported doing in 2013

The Organization ceased operations at the close of the fiscal year 2013 due to the cancellation/termination of certain major federal and/or county grants. As of July 1, 2013, most of the employees had been terminated. Also in July 2013, the Organization surrendered occupancy of their main office at Yucca Valley to move to their own residential property at Joshua Tree to minimize the cost of their closing operations. The winding up and dissolution process will continue and likely be complete by the latter part of 2014 pending final approval by the appropriate oversight agency and resolution of related business issues.

Operating model

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

The verdict
