Overview
Mission
We provide Math enrichment programs for under-served youth. We offer three programs, Saturday Math Academy, Early Algebra Project and Summer Math Camps to children in grades K through 8th grade.
What it reported doing in 2015
Saturday Math Academy - a 3 hour per week, 36 week\year math enrichment program for under-served children (K-5) We served 45 total children for the 9 month program in Rainier Valley in 2015.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 64% 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
SUPPORTED - 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.
