Overview
Mission
The usher family foundation ceased activity in 2011.
What it reported doing in 2011
The board of directors voluntarily dissolved the usher family foundation and disbanded the board. The former supported organization, the pittsburgh foundation, liquidated the organization.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Other-operating. 100% of the money available for current operations came from other operating revenue.
- Distribution model
- Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent spending detail to tell whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.
The verdict
REVIEW - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
