Overview

Mission

Centers to Support the Independence of Specific Populations

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
No current program activity. The filing reports no charitable disbursements for the current year.

The verdict

REVIEW - A large share of spending goes to grants. Assets provide a limited cushion relative to annual grants and the available information about grant readiness automatic revocation leaves an important question unanswered.
