Blue Forge Films: Seriously Cereal. Educating children and families on nutrition, wellness, and literacy, while supplying free educational crafts and lesson content for children ages three to nine in a weekly, thirty-minute show and additional short-form educational content.

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

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
