Overview

Mission

Single Organization Support

What it reported funding in 2014

The foundation reported 1 grant totaling $16,800. The stated grant purpose was additional teachers.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the foundation's positive operating resources came from contributions.
Distribution model
Grant intermediary. The foundation distributed 100% of its reported charitable disbursements as grants.

The verdict

MIXED - A large share of spending goes to grants and the filed numbers largely add up. Assets provide a limited cushion relative to annual grants and the available information about grant readiness automatic revocation leaves an important question unanswered.
