Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this foundation funds its work.
Distribution model
Hybrid. The foundation combined direct charitable work with grants to other organizations or people.

The verdict

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and the filing identifies who received its grants. A relatively small share of spending goes to grants and assets provide a limited cushion relative to annual grants.
