Overview

Mission

What it reported doing in 2024

Youth development programs: the after-school programs provides knowledge and support for predominantly low-income elementary and middle school youth to develop academic and social skills that will lead to success in high school and post-secondary education or careers. Youth receive homework help, academic support, healthy meals, physical activity, behavioral health services, and participate in service-learning projects to develop leadership skilss. In addition, to the full meals provided each day, a weekend food program provides food for children who have little or no food on the weekend. Program locations include elementary and middle schools and homeless shelters.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 92% 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 - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
