What it reported doing in 2011

During the year ended December 31, 2011, the program entered a phase out period due to non renewal of a grant that had provided its entire funding during the last 5 years. As of the end of the year it was uncertain whether additional funding would be available to continue the program; new revenue sources of revenue were being explored, however, no new funding from any other sources was received. The program continued to operate on a limited basis, and families in need assistance were referred to other social service organizations.

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 program spending has declined or grown slowly.
