Overview

Mission

To improve the lives of people living in the new england states, particularly in the areas of education, health, human services and cultural initiatives.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 100% of the money available for current operations came from other operating revenue.
Distribution model
Transfer-based 990-EZ. The 990-EZ reports grants or member benefits, but it does not separate enough spending to show the nonprofit’s full delivery mix.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Assets have declined or grown slowly and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
