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.
