Overview
Mission
The Organization dedicated to aid, assist and support Chinese American Students in their scholastic and academic endeavors by actively involving their parents in the educational process. The Organization's afterschool and summer camp programs address grade-specific learning objectives as well as city, state, and national educational standards.
What it reported doing in 2024
AFTERSCHOOL PROGRAMS: CAPA after-school program runs from 2:40 PM to 6:00 PM. Students start after-school with a healthy snack, followed by homework help and recreational activities. We operate based on the school calendar schedule.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
- 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 - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
