Overview

Mission

Youth development and arts education

What it reported doing in 2020

Youth Advisory Board: Our Youth Advisory Board consisted of 5 high school age youth who participated in weekly leadership meetings focused on decisions for the organization and community service. Due to the pandemic, the grant we received for YAB programming was re-allocated to general operations.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 92% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent spending detail to tell whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filed totals do not add up and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
