Overview

Mission

Private Independent Foundations

What it reported funding in 2024

The foundation reported 2 filed grant rows totaling $29,500. The stated grant purposes included develop and deliver to children and donation went toward the opening of the "girl scout innovation center" in the southern part of the council to build a fire pit and stage for the outdoor center.

Operating model

Revenue model
Investment-supported. 100% of the foundation's positive operating resources came from recurring investment income.
Distribution model
Grant intermediary. The foundation distributed 94% of its reported charitable disbursements as grants.
  • Includes asset-sale income: Asset-sale income is shown separately from recurring resources when classifying the revenue model.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes to charitable grants and the filed numbers largely add up. Assets provide a limited cushion relative to annual grants and the available information about grant readiness state registration leaves an important question unanswered.
