Overview

Mission

The Arizona Christian Education Coalition, an Arizona nonprofit corporation (AzCEC) is a coalition of private Christian schools that exists for the purpose of educating the public, making recommendations to legislative bodies regarding public policy issues related to the education of Arizonas children, and engaging in limited political activism, and intends to operate pursuant to section 501(c)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code.

What it reported doing in 2023

We have hired a lobbyist who has represented us in many discussions with lawmakers, aided school leaders in building relationships with our legislators, and continued to assist us with informing our parents about what is going on in our legislature and how they can be involved in the process. He has also assisted us in building a coalitions of support and dialogue with other groups outside of our membership and has assisted in building the number of schools engaged in our membership.

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

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Revenue has declined or grown slowly and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
