Overview

Mission

City care inspires those willing to look social injustice and extreme proverty in the face, and empowers them to do whatever it takes to create change.

What it reported doing in 2024

Whiz kids Oklahoma - whiz kids Oklahoma is breaking the barriers of poverty and illiteracy for the next generation through a faith-based, one-on-one volunteer tutoring and mentoring program that focuses on first- through sixth-grade students in areas with the highest drop-out rates and lowest socio-economic levels in Oklahoma city. Whiz kids is both proactive and preventative in nature, targeting students who are reading below grade level and who could benefit most from a mentor relationship with a caring adult. Whiz kids meet with their mentor each week for a meal, curriculum in character development and literacy-focused tutoring. Whiz kids partners with local churches, Oklahoma city public schools, the crutcho school district, putnam city school district and the crooked oak school district. A teacher from the local school facilitates each whiz kids site and acts as the school liaison and resource for volunteer tutors. During the summer months, weekly camps address summer setbacks at targeted sites. At the end of 2024, city care had the honor of assisting the whiz kids program with launching into its own 501(c)(3) organization.

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.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

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.
