Overview
Mission
Building child and family initiatives- a community empowerment center is organized to assist in bridging the gap between the unmet needs of children and families and resources that can improve their quality of life.
What it reported doing in 2024
The organization partnered with other organizations to offer the "steam academy" after school program. The program was designed to expose students to stem careers, helping to enrich their science, technology, engineering, and math skills while also supporting literacy through various hands on activities and guided lessons for students in grades k - 6. It successfully served approximately 50 students who were bussed to foster community center. The students attended one-hour twice weekly sessions after school for the duration of the school year.
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 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 program spending has declined or grown slowly.
