Overview

Mission

To financially support the Buckeye Union School District.

What it reported doing in 2024

Awarded grants to teachers within Buckeye Union School District to enable them to implement special projects to provide educational enrichment or enhance the learning experience for students. Projects were led by BUSD teachers or school staff members and had to provide a meaningful impact to provide educational enrichment or enhance the learning experience for a group of students, either one-time use or ongoing use. One-time use (examples: virtual or in-person field trip/experience, single use supply purchase). Ongoing use (examples: teaching tools or aids, lesson plans/materials/equipment purchase, subscription purchase) Funding had to make the difference between the project happening or not; funding was not readily available through other sources or programs. Grants were funded up to $1000 per project.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent spending detail to tell whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.

The verdict

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
