The organization issued grants during the year that the board of directors best felt promoted the health, security, happiness and independence of persons with disabling conditions in the Moscow, Idaho, Pullman, Washington area.

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
Distribution model
Grant intermediary. The nonprofit sent 97% of its reported program spending out as grants.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Assets have declined or grown slowly and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
