Overview

Mission

Desert mountain parent-teacher organization is tasked with supporting the development of the desert mountain high school learning community by investing in staff and teacher development, culture-building activities, in-class support through teaching tools and supplies, and school asset supplements.

What it reported doing in 2024

We were able to raise money to purchase gift cards for teachers and staff. The gift cards were distributed during teacher appreciation week to teachers and staff for classroom support.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
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 total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
