Overview
Mission
Empowering people to achieve success by building a strong foundation of character
What it reported doing in 2020
Citrs and character counts! Have partnered and implemented a groundbreaking three-year comprehensive character development initiative in 21 buffalo public school district (bpsd) schools. The overarching goal of the initiative is to cultivate ethical, respectful, and caring school environments, in which students can thrive and succeed academically, socially, and emotionally. Approximately 14,000 pre-k - 12 students in the city of buffalo are benefitting from this initiative, as well as teachers, parents, and the surrounding community. The initiative is being implemented locally by two mentors/coaches in buffalo, three members of the citrs staff located in philadelphia, and three members of the cc! National staff.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 68% 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 - 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 fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
