Overview
Mission
Dwight-Englewood School is a community that fosters academic excellence, ethical responsibility, and lifelong learning. We prepare students to lead lives of purpose, integrity, and contribution.
What it reported doing in 2024
Auxiliary operations - provides summer school programs, bookstore services, food services, after school & enrichment program services, and transportation services to enrolled students.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 91% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 88% 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.
- Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. The filing reports few safeguards for money sent abroad and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
