Overview

Mission

Fund Raising and/or Fund Distribution

What it reported funding in 2020

The foundation reported 3 grants totaling $1,550. The stated grant purpose was donation.

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
Grant intermediary. The foundation distributed 100% of its reported charitable disbursements as grants.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and the filing identifies who received its grants. The available information about grant readiness automatic revocation leaves an important question unanswered.
