What it reported doing in 2024

During the reporting period, the organization expanded its impact through three key programs. The Re-Invent X Program equipped 78 small business owners with practical AI knowledge and tools to transition into the digital economy, with 70% implementing AI tools into their operations immediately following five hands-on workshops. The GoCreate USA Bootcamp continued its mission of creating pathways into tech for underrepresented individuals, with 62 participants trained across multiple cohorts, resulting in a 65% successful transition rate into tech roles within three months of graduation and 35 live capstone projects completed. The organization also launched Re-Invent to Rise, a 90-day transformational program focused on mindset and behavioral change for professional reinvention, serving 15 individuals with a 70% completion rate and delivering 50 hours of content, where 95% of participants reported increased confidence and clarity about their next career chapter. Through these initiatives, the organization continues to advance inclusion in tech while providing comprehensive support for career transitions and small business development.

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
