Overview

Mission

To encourage and prepare

What it reported doing in 2016

Outreach: services include workshops and seminars for students and parents on high school and college choice, financing college; attendance at fairs and report card pick up days; educational handouts for community members; and informational materials on evyp services.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 65% 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. The filing does not identify recipients for some grant dollars and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
