Overview

Mission

Education of young children in preschool and prekindergarten programs for youth ages 3-6 in Taos and surrounding communities.

What it reported doing in 2024

The Organization was established to educate young children in their Preschool program and prekindergarten programs for children ages three to six. Approximately 32 kids were enrolled in the program during the year.

Operating model

Revenue model
Grant-funded. 100% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
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 - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
