Overview

Mission

Dreamfar is a mentor-supported distance running program serving greater Boston teens of diverse backgrounds and abilities. Our mission is to help teens develop physical and mental wellness, community, and confidence to pursue their goals and dreams.

Mentor supported distance running program for high school students. We served approximately 50 students and 50 adult members. The program culminated with students and mentors completing the Newport Marathon or Half Marathon in April.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 93% 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 - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
