Overview

Mission

Bronx Global Learning Institute for Girls seeks to provide an exceptional education to young girls through dual language instruction in a technology-rich environment, while builiding on cultural heritage to foster leadership characteristics and strong values, promote self-confidence and create global leaders.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 86% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
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.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

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.
