Overview

Mission

Develop entrepreneurs in underserved communities.

What it reported doing in 2024

Six week summer program offering workshops and internships. Working with educational organizations to provide instructions through proprietary EEA curriculumand business owner insights. Connecting graduates with local businesses.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 63% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
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. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
