Overview
Mission
The breakout foundation was created to award grants on a monthly basis to rising non profit leaders and social entrepreneurs having a positive impact in their communities.
What it reported doing in 2024
The organization is currently reviewing applications to determine who will be receiving a grant.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 97% 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 total spending goes to programs. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
