Overview
Mission
To make a positive difference
What it reported doing in 2013
Mentoring - provides long-term one-to-one mentoring to children who need and want a mentor. Volunteers make a one year commitment to spend 6 hours per month with the child to build a relationship, increasing opportunities for social involvement and bonding to positive adults.
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 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
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
