Overview

Mission

To provide development oriented programs to the youth and families of brooklyn central communities with cultural, educational, employment and career counseling.

What it reported doing in 2024

The community development program encompasses the following four projects, which are provided free of charge: project excell - an arts and academic enrichment project that meets on saturdays for youths ages 6 - 12; after-school - a project which meets five days a week to provide students with homework assistance, tutoring, performing arts courses, field trips, employment and career counseling, and a snack; tell mama now - a mentoring project in which girls ages 7 - 12 learn specialized art techniques from art professionals; and inter-generational development center - a center for seniors to meet five days a week for games, lunch, aerobics, singing, and local field trips.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 81% 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.

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 a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
