Mission

The Amy Biehl High School Foundation supports the mission of Amy Biehl High School.

Angel Fund which helps students facing economic hardships by providing funding for dual enrollment textbooks, college entrance exams, college trips, and other college preparatory expenses.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 66% 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

STRONG - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and expenses are high relative to revenue.
