In 2025, we hosted more than 8 entrepreneurship and public service convenings and case competitions with universities across the U.S.including george mason university, georgetown, and the university of Arkansas, and delivered curriculum programs to more than 13 universities such as uc davis, northwestern, and the university of pittsburgh.

Operating model

Revenue model
Investment-supported. 89% of the money available for current operations came from recurring investment income.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 94% 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 program spending has declined or grown slowly.
