Overview

Mission

Provide grants, scholarships, support, and resources to the trades and entrepreneurs. Seek to promote the trades within the Central Florida community, its educational systems, and trade businesses.

What it reported doing in 2025

The organization received donations/contributions to raise funds to give scholarships out in 2026. The small expenses were to cover promotion of the organization's purpose. The organization used 2025 to begin building financial stability and reserves.

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

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and program spending has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
