Overview
Mission
To provide scholarships to graduating high school seniors as well as past scholarship recipients for continuing education.
What it reported doing in 2025
A total of $33,000 was awarded to graduating seniors and second year students for continuing education and to the high school for clubs to further education purposes.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 89% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- 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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
