Overview

Mission

Engaging and inspiring middle school students of color in and around Orange County, North Carolina to explore the arts and S.T.E.M. education and prepare them for careers of the future.

What it reported doing in 2025

In 2025, we hosted a free, 3-week arts and STEM summer camp aimed at Black middle- and high school-aged students in and around Chapel Hill, North Carolina. The camp hosted a number of speakers in science and arts fields, and coordinated a number of field trips across North Carolina. E3 Camp also hosted a trade fair in April, 2025, and science fair in November, 2025.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
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.
