Overview

Mission

To assist the indigenous Maya people

What it reported doing in 2024

Building Projects: These include repairs and maintenance of schools, micro-clinics, greenhouses (including the model greenhouse used for training community members in the building and maintenance of their greenhouses and also training community members involved in the integral farming project) and community stores in communities we work with. At least seven communities and hundreds of people are helped by these projects.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 69% 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

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
