Overview

Mission

The mission of the boys & girls club of greater dubuque is to provide programs for dubuque area youth promoting health and social, educational, cultural, leadership, and character development with an emphasis on areas with greatest potential impact, in an environment which enables our members to become responsible, contributing citizens.

What it reported doing in 2024

Meal program - the boys and girls club of greater dubuque participates in the usda's child and adult care food program (cacfp) free at-risk meal program. In addition to the school year program, we sponsor a summer food service program (sfsp) also funded by the usda and the united way to provide free breakfast, lunch, supper and snacks to children in the community during the summer vacation period. In total the club serves over 40,000 meals annually that meet the nutritional needs of all of our members.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 62% 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

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
