Overview

Mission

The mission of Campus Without Walls is to leverage the power of communities and technology to remove structural barriers and connect classrooms, educators, and students to each other and a broader education ecosystem in order to increase equitable access for Black and Latinx students and their teachers in under-resourced communities.

What it reported doing in 2024

Provide educational resources to educators and students.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 99% 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

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence.
