Overview
Mission
Create economic opportunity for high-potential students historically excluded from tech by developing an entrepreneurial mindset, career-ready technical skills, and access to mentorship and employer partnerships.
What it reported doing in 2024
Research and Student Services - Employer partnerships, internship placement, and career navigation services that prepare college-age Scholars for entry and advancement in the tech workforce. Services include employer matchmaking and referral to paid internship opportunities, resume and technical interview coaching, certification support and industry office hours, workplace-readiness workshops, and structured post-internship conversion pathways to early-career roles. Program evaluation focuses on internship placement, certification attainment, participant feedback, and is expanding to include conversion-to-hire rates and longitudinal employment outcomes.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 96% 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.
- Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and expenses are high relative to revenue.
