Revenue model
Earned-program. 78% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model

  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and expenses are high relative to revenue.
