Overview

Mission

The Stanley County GOLD 21st Century Community Learning Center provides a safe, supervised afterschool and summer program that offers many fun, creative academic enrichment opportunities for students grades k-8. With the 4-H Youth Development Curriculum as a foundation, activities are designed to improve school performance, utilize technology, promote good character, encourage healthy behaviors, increase exposure to arts and culture and prepared involved, community-minded citizens.

What it reported doing in 2025

Served approximately 2,450 meals to the elderly. These meals were served on site as well as delivered to shut-ins.

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 96% 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. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
