Operating model

- Distribution model
- Hybrid. The nonprofit split its reported program spending across 43% for direct work, and 57% for 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.
