Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
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.
