Overview

Mission

We are organized exclusively for charitable, religious, educational and scientific purposes, including, for such purposes, the making of distributions to organizations that qualify as exempt organizations under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, or the corresponding section of any future federal tax code. We provide support to homeschooling families in New York State, with classes, events and activities. We are incorporated as a Christian non-profit in NYS and we hold to the orthodox teachings of the Christian faith. Our code of conduct and policies all run through our statement of faith.

What it reported doing in 2024

CREO Classical Academy provides a two-day-per-week academic program for homeschool families, serving 23 students with instruction in mathematics, science, history, writing, art, music, and STEM. The program supports parents by offering a structured, classical education environment that fosters critical thinking, creativity, and hands-on learning experiences within a supportive homeschool community.

Operating model

Revenue model
Membership-supported. 78% of the money available for current operations came from membership dues.
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

STRONG - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Liabilities are high compared with assets and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
