Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 67% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- 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 revenue comfortably covers expenses. Revenue has declined or grown slowly and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
