Overview

Mission

The Mission of the Anytime Anywhere Learning Foundation is to support educators in fostering learning opportunities for all children that will prepare them for their future in the 21st century and make it possible for learning to be ongoing and take place anytime and anywhere through one-to-one laptop learning. In support of this mission AALF provides educators and government leaders worldwide with guidance, support, and tools for the development of sustainable learning and teaching programs that reflect exemplary use of technology in one-to-one laptop learning environments and facilitating the achievement of this by conducting activities including, but not limited to: workshops, seminars, publications, coaching and consulting support, and the development of other materials useful to the field of education and educational technology and its community.

What it reported doing in 2017

Prior to ending all AALF programs by March 31, 2017, the Foundation wound up its coaching work with schools and school districts in California, work designed to help them build their 1:1 education programs. AALF also dispensed its resources, materials, and coaching framework to TakingItGlobal, the not-for-profit organization designated as recipient of all AALF assets as outlined in the asset distribution plan. They will combine these materials with theirs as they support educators and schools in the US and Canada.

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.
