Overview

Mission

Educational & cultural programs and exhibits

What it reported doing in 2009

Provide a museum, informational materials, educational and cultural programming in order to educate the public about polish american culture and provide artistic & cultural exhibits of the polish american community

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
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 the available information about grant readiness automatic revocation leaves an important question unanswered.
