Overview

Mission

Education training and development of future business social and political leaders

What it reported doing in 2025

Development and delivery of an electrical risk prevention training program utilizing augmented reality virtual reality technology. The program served more than 5,000 operational employees across two electricity distribution companies in Argentina: Empresa Distribuidora de Electricidad de Mendoza S.A. Edemsa and Empresa Distribuidora y Comercializadora Norte S.A. Edenor. The program enhanced safety standards and technical awareness in the energy sector.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 97% of the money available for current operations came from other operating revenue.
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

MIXED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work. A relatively small share of voting board members are independent and the filing reports few safeguards for money sent abroad.
