Overview
Mission
Provide not-for-profit dental healthcare to the underserved of this and other countries.
What it reported doing in 2010
Pillars foundation accomplished two mission trips to Peru. Several hundred individuals who had never seen a dentist in their lives were provided dental care free of cost. Decayed teeth were filled using cutting edge techniques, and hopeless teeth were extracted. Oral hygiene instructions and hygiene aids were given to patients who attended the clinic.
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 total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
