Overview
Mission
OUR MISSION IS TO SERVE COMMUNITIES OF NORTH TEXAS BY PROVIDING QUALITY PROGRAMS THAT FOSTER THE EMOTIONAL, SOCIAL AND EDUCATIONAL DEVELOPMENT OF CHILDREN, YOUTH AND FAMILIES. OUR GOAL IS TO "PREPARE CHILDREN FOR GREAT LIVES". Our goal is to provide after-school, summer day camp and school day enrichment programs that prepare children to live great lives as community leaders, responsible and caring adults and effective members of the workforce.
What it reported doing in 2024
Licensed Child Care programs (school age): providing high quality state-licensed before and after school care and all-day holiday camps to approx. 1,400 children and their families per year. We provide a safe and structured environment for elementary-age children so that families can work or attend school. Financial aid scholarships are offered for weekly program fees to those in need, and no child is turned away due to inability to pay. Annual fundraising efforts help to support our financial assistance awards. We also partner to operate an early childhood preschool daycare for the One Safe Place social justice center and CDC @ Broadway.
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 99% 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
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
