Overview

Mission

The Community Bots provide middle and high school girls in underserved communities in developing countries an opportunity to develop a passion for STEM-robotics and to succeed in their pursuit of a higher education. Our girls are empowered to enter the workplace and to engineer solutions for the worlds most pressing challenges.

What it reported doing in 2025

We have three partner program sites in Nicaragua. Nicaphoto in Nagarote Nicaragua is our oldest partner program since 2017. We provided financial support for their STEM-robotics and English instructors who work directly with our cohort of girls in grades 4 - 9. We also traveled to NicaPhoto during the summer of 2025 to train the STEM-robotics coordinators at two partner sites NicaPhoto and Friends of Granada for one week while also training the most advanced student programmers. We started a new program site working with the organization CREA Nicaragua; we provided an in-person two-week training program for the teachers and students.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% 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 - The filed numbers largely add up and program spending has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
