Overview

Mission

Africa's Tomorrow specializes in breaking through the barriers of oppression that keep rural African women at a distance from college.

What it reported doing in 2022

Higher Ed Funds: College expenses for 10 scholars and graduates during 2022. Results: 4 graduates, continuing strong performance toward bachelor's degrees for 6 continuing scholars. Payments ensure safety and security of scholars, daily needs are met and educational expenses covered when colleges are in and out of session, a unique need for low-income international scholars who are not fully supported by traditional international study systems.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% 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

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. A relatively small share of total spending goes to programs and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
