Overview

Mission

To provide a place for lgbt and individuas to express themselves freely in a safe, non-judgemental environment. The center provides a range of resources, varieties of educational topics, enhanced comminity and support to organizations that support equality.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 83% 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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
