Overview

Mission

Develop a coalition of stakeholders parents, students and MPS employees to work with and hold accountable Minneapolis Public Schools to eliminate institutional racism in the system.

What it reported doing in 2024

N the 2024?25 school year, our programming included 25 students of color in leadership and advocacy activities such as participation in school board meetings and public comments, community dialogues with policymakers, and canvassing. Our programming also included producing school board recap videos to create accessibility for parents, advocacy training for 20 adult caregivers. It is through these types of platforms, students, educators, and caregivers express their opinions of and experiences in MPS's educational system and their needs to have a successful educational K?12 journey.?

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
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 program spending has declined or grown slowly.
