Overview

Mission

Raise funds from public and distribute to members

What it reported doing in 2015

Coordinate the efforts of its member organizations as they participate in workplace fund raising campaigns. Provide technical assistance and fund raising activities to members.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 96% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The program-spending lines do not add up, so the filing cannot show reliably whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.

The verdict

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filing does not identify recipients for some grant dollars.
