Overview

Mission

Provide educational and cultural entertainment to meet the needs of the people in the quad cities and surrounding area and provide scholarships, book grants, and family entertainment to members of the mexican american community through operations of a community facility.

What it reported doing in 2015

Organization has nothing to report for the current year. No funds are available for program services as organization is working towards terminating operations.

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

REVIEW - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
