Overview
Mission
ELITE/RISE is the venue to gather together as a group to strengthen, inspire and enjoy each others company; it is an organization created for young women—run by the young women of our community—with the goal to fulfill “Ish Es Re’eiuhu Yomar Chazak” to create an environment of growth and connection.
What it reported doing in 2024
To enable the young women of our community to continue their spiritual growth even after leaving the confines of an official classroom setting.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 100% 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
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.
