Overview

Mission

Art education for underserved preschool age children

What it reported doing in 2024

Color me with confidence is a program which uses art as a tool to work through emotions. Our program supplies students with everything needed to complete all 8 projects in the series. We serviced lake/geauga head start: 3 visits per week for 24 weeks, at the painesville location, servicing approximately 275 students throughout the school year. We had 2 visits per week for 8 weeks at the geauga location serving 60 students weekly. We serviced st. Mary's in chardon on location, with 22 students monthly for 9 visits.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 91% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
