Overview

Mission

To prevent under-resourced children from dropping out or failing in school by surrounding them with a community of support at the school house to include tutoring, mentoring, case management, afterschool and other enrichment activities, school- to- career assistance, emergency assistance, etc.

What it reported doing in 2024

Drop-Out Prevention Surround students at risk of failing or dropping out of school with a community of support empowering them to stay in school and prepare for life. We connect tutors, mentors, health and human services, enrichment activities, food, clothing, and shelter. For our case managed students, we conducted 1,011 report card review, 831 urgent care referrals, 8,698 attendance reviews. 233 case-managed participants maintained or improved attendance; 301 promoted on time; 46/47 graduated on time. Served 310 case managed students and an additional 1,323 whole school.

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.
  • 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. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and expenses are high relative to revenue.
