Overview
Mission
Private Grantmaking Foundations
What it reported funding in 2019
The foundation reported 10 filed grant rows totaling $147,363. The stated grant purpose was general operating purposes.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- No positive adjusted resources. The filing reports no positive adjusted operating resources.
- Distribution model
- Grant intermediary. The foundation distributed 96% of its reported charitable disbursements as grants.
- Includes asset-sale income: Asset-sale income is shown separately from recurring resources when classifying the revenue model.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and the filing identifies who received its grants. Assets provide a limited cushion relative to annual grants and the available information about grant readiness automatic revocation leaves an important question unanswered.
