Overview

Mission

To enhance the quality of life in rural New Mexico by preserving rural cultures, traditions, and lifestyles; providing the tools by which communities can forge their futures; eliminating barriers to the success of rural communities; and creating opportunities to fit the needs of individual communities.

What it reported doing in 2009

Programs were supported in two communities and were also supported to provide public education and outreach.

Operating model

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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
