Overview

Mission

To provide diverse services and programs that will have an impact on the elderly and disadvantaged populations of Nebraska.

What it reported doing in 2024

Head starthead start promotes the school readiness of low-income preschool children (ages 3 to 5), including children of federally recognized indian tribes, Alaska natives, and migratory seasonal and farm workers, and infants and toddlers (birth through age 3) by enhancing their cognitive social and emotional development in learning environments that support their growth in language, literacy, mathematics, science, social and emotional functioning, creative art, physical skills, and approaches to learning. Parents receive social services and participate in various decision-making processes related to the operation of the program.

Operating model

Revenue model
Grant-funded. 87% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 88% 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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Revenue has declined or grown slowly and expenses are high relative to revenue.
