Overview

Mission

Chacala Education Fund supports educational access and community development initiatives in Chacala and rural Nayarit Mexico including scholarships and vocational training programs. In September 2025 the organization transitioned from fiscal sponsorship to independent operations and began directly receiving contributions to support its mission.

What it reported doing in 2025

In 2025 the organizations primary program activity was a 15,000 grant to a rural nonprofit school in Mexico to provide scholarships and educational support for approximately 80 preschool through 9th grade students from underserved local communities. The grant supported access to holistic community-based education for children and youth with limited economic resources. Through this grant the organization helped expand access to educational opportunities and support the long-term well-being and development of children and families in the region.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Grant intermediary. The nonprofit sent 100% of its reported program spending out as grants.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. 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.
