Operating model

Revenue model
Contribution and grant supported. 97% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and grants. The filing reports them as one total, so it does not say how much was granted.
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

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and program spending has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of voting board members are independent.
