Overview

Mission

Our mission is to improve the lives of youth in underserved communities and facilitate their development into positive, contributing adults. We do this by encouraging the pursuit of higher education, healthy lifestyles, and strong community ties.

What it reported doing in 2024

Play Street is a six-week summer program that brings exciting and enriching activities to our local park to inspire kids of all ages to engage in instructional play and make lasting memories during their summer break. At Nehemiah Park in Brooklyn, EYTE sets up various activity tables for youth of all ages to participate in from morning until early afternoon hours. We are welcoming to camps and community groups of all types and sizes.

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

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
