Overview

Mission

ConnAd's mission is to advocate for public policies that will improve the performance of Connecticut's system of public education, with a focus on policies helpful to the academic achievement of students in Connecticut's urban districts.

What it reported doing in 2014

Conn Ad engaged in activities to attain systemic and state policy changes to benefit public education and the more than 150,000 Connecticut public school students who currently achieve at below grade level. There were no program expenses during 2014.

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
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

REVIEW - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
