- Distribution model
- Grant intermediary. The nonprofit sent 100% of its reported program spending out as grants.

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 the available information about grant readiness automatic revocation leaves an important question unanswered.
