Overview
Mission
To establish and equip a network of initiatives that promote the educational, spiritual, and physical wellness of children and youth in developing communities.
What it reported doing in 2024
Educational equity alliance has set the following objectives: 1) incubate/evaluate strengths and needs - we guide community based leaders to conduct in-depth and ongoing demographic studies and community-based assessments to ensure that the community's strengths and needs are informing what programs are established or restructured. 2) stabilize/support and accountability - we offer the necessary supportive services for staff to raise personal and program support, hr services to handle payroll and taxes, organizational advisory, ongoing financial counsel, customized systems to measure program outcomes, and establish the accountability structures to ensure the leadership and their teams remain within the ethical and legal boundaries of what is permitted by educational equity alliance as a faith-based organization and the law. In addition, we offer assistance to establish programs incorporation and secure its NGO or 501(c)3 status. 3) launch/equip to launch - we train community-based leadership to develop a strategic plan, funding strategy and the necessary teams, and assist them with the launch (or re-launch) of their programs.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 94% 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.
- Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
