Overview
Mission
Awee makes it possible for generous people to help women overcome obstacles and get better jobs, creating better tomorrows for themselves, their families, and their community.
What it reported doing in 2018
Better tomorrows: when a woman is connected to a better job, her life is transformed. Awee provides the resources, help and support a woman needs to overcome obstacles and connect with the right position for her. Awee clients receive connections to Arizona's best employers to make great job matches; receive skills training, coaching, mentoring and support; assistance with transportation, wardrobe and interview preparation; access to the innovation economy via entrepreneurship training; leadership development opportunities; and connections to a supportive community that offers essential caring, nurturing and advocacy for long-term career success.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 70% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Cannot be determined from the filing. The program-spending lines do not add up, so the filing cannot show reliably whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.
- Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - A large share of total spending goes to programs and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence.
