Overview

Mission

Since the year 2000, bbbs senm has been matching youth in meaningful, enduring, professionally supported one-to-one mentoring relationships with screened adult volunteers who defend their potential and help them achieve their biggest possible futures.

What it reported doing in 2020

The organization enrolls youth ages 6-17 to be matched in a one-to-one mentoring relationship. Our services are offered completely free of charge. In 2020-21, we served 47 youth in mentoring matches, 82% of whom were children of color, including african american and hispanic youth. Of the children we served, 50% were living with grandparents or in single parent households; 45% came from families that received income assistance; and 68% were on free or reduced lunch at school. Our volunteers spent an estimated 2,112 hours mentoring children in fy 2020-21. Independent research proves that children in our one-to-one mentoring programs are more likely to graduate from high school, are less likely to use drugs, have improved self-confidence, and have better, stronger relationships with their families and others.

Operating model

Revenue model
Grant-funded. 70% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
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. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and expenses are high relative to revenue.
