Overview
Mission
To provide tutoring and assist students in developing academic skills and a love of learning.
What it reported doing in 2018
The enlightened learning center ("the center") is a community-based service to support learning and academic achievement without limits, for all learners. The goal of the center is to provide evidence-based, individualized instruction, in-depth investigations of topics of interest and support identified areas of need. An emphasis is placed on meeting the needs of each learner, regardless of academic and financial need. The center was created with the following seven principles: 1. Provide tutoring programs and services in reading, writing, math, study skills, and foreign languages for pre-k-12, including, but not limited to k-12 subject tutoring, pre-k readiness preparation, test preparation, after-school homework center, interactive professional development workshops for educators, and academic summer camps. 2. Provide the programs and services to all students, irrespective of limited financial resources, by making these programs and services available through reduced fees and/or scholarships based on need and merit. 3. Recruit qualified volunteers to provide tutoring and mentor students, with a special emphasis on students who are "at risk", challenged academically, or reading below their grade level. 4. Nuture in students a passion for learning and the self-discipline needed to succeed academically. 5. Instill in students core values of civility, mutual respect, tolerance, and a shared commitment with their fellow students to excelling as a class and individually. 6. Make grants to aid and assist schools and community organizations that nurture, support, and aid students who are experiencing academic difficulties and are in need of mentoring, tutoring, and counseling in order to succeed. 7. Make grants to institutions of higher education to support programs of academic study and research that are devoted to determining how to improve learning skills for k-12 students and improve the quality of teaching for k-12 students.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 99% 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 - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. A relatively small share of total spending goes to programs and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
