Operating model

Earned-program. 88% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
