Overview

Mission

Becoming Grace is committed to empowering individuals to overcome barriers and achieve long-term success. Through education, workforce development, peer counseling, youth programming, and access to essential resources, we equip community members with the tools and support needed to realize their full potential and thrive.

What it reported doing in 2025

The Becoming Grace After-School Program provides a safe, structured, and engaging environment for children ages 412 attending Title I schools. Our program supports working families while addressing educational and social gaps by offering consistent, high-quality after-school care. We focus on academic support through homework assistance, literacy development, and enrichment activities that reinforce classroom learning. In addition, students participate in social-emotional learning, STEM activities, arts and crafts, physical activity, and mentorship to support their overall growth and development. Serving primarily low-income communities, Becoming Grace is committed to ensuring equitable access to safe and enriching after-school programming. Our goal is to improve academic performance, build confidence, and provide a positive space where children can learn, grow, and thrive beyond the school day.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 99% 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 filed totals do not add up.
