Overview
Mission
Cause4Kids helps connect kids grades K-12 who need money to pay for after school extracurricular activities with generous people who posses the means and heart to help.
What it reported doing in 2014
Causes4Kids strives to be the "go to" resource that ensures individual learning and child development opportunities to continue outside the school classroom, even when traditional funding or available funds within a household fall short.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
- 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. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
