Overview

Mission

Support world-wide relief and development programs.

Resale of donated items by providing inexpensive items for economically depressed areas. Monies are donated to the Mennonite Central Committee to aid in worldwide relief and to demonstrate Christian love and social justice. Donations are made to local assistance agencies.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 100% of the money available for current operations came from other operating revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 90% 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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
