Overview

Mission

Charity

What it reported doing in 2010

Organized exclusively for charitable, religious, educational, and scientific purposes, including but not limited to, for such puprose as making distributions that qualify as exempt organziations under section 501(c)(3)

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

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of total spending goes to programs and expenses are high relative to revenue.
