Overview

Mission

Digital Awareness Training Academy (DATA) aims to bring cybersecurity and digital ethics education to kids and their families through age-appropriate storytelling to keep students engaged and reinforce the concepts learned through gameplay.

What it reported doing in 2022

DATA engaged with Jeans Chips and Tees Productions to develop characters, and storyline for the Cybernaught curriculum. The first animated lesson, mentor lesson, and learning reinforcement game were developed.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% 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

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