Operating model

Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model

The verdict

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