Overview

Mission

A non-profit 501c3 connecting our underserved youth to our great lake through water safety, swimming lessons, problem solving, play and adventure.

What it reported doing in 2025

Aquamissions flagship offering is a school-based learn-to-swim program that removes economic and social barriers to basic water safety education and learning to swim.

Operating model

Revenue model
Grant-funded. 98% 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 - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of total spending goes to programs. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
