Overview

Mission

4girls is a non-profit organization that inspires and empowers middle school girls to identify themselves as authentic, confident and resilient, preparing them for real life success.

What it reported doing in 2024

Empowerment events : 4girls hosts empowerment events quarterly in each community(long beach and orange county) to buoy the confidence of the young women throughout the year, in between annual workshops. Each empowerment event lasts approximately 2-4hours and is led by volunteers. At least one annual empowerment event focuses on stem topics. Empowerment events also expose the young women to a diverse range of activities, encourage them to challenge themselves and the status quo, and provide them with educational and engaging opportunities to expand their future possibilities.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of total spending goes to programs and expenses are high relative to revenue.
