Overview
Mission
The organization's mission is to protect, restore and preserve the 1859 round island lighthouse located in pascagoula, Mississippi, by working tirelessly to provide funding and support to safeguard the lighthouse's cultural heritage for future generations.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 100% 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
REVIEW - 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.
