What it reported doing in 2024
Operation school bell - assistance league of the eastside helps students in need by providing gift cards for shopping at their local fred meyer stores. These students are pre-selected by personnel from the lake Washington, bellevue and northshore school districts. Our funds let these kids and their families shop for new clothes/shoes, books, school supplies, medications, and food. Operation school bell provides far more than just what they purchase; it allows school children to fit in better with their peers and empowers them to reach their potential to learn with the appropriate resources, be healthy and have food on the table. Assistance league of the eastside believes that these items will contribute to a child's self-esteem and a successful school experience.

- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 89% 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
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
