Overview

Mission

Preparing students—especially those least served by current systems—to get to and through college and lead lives of impact.

What it reported doing in 2024

Envision education transforms the lives of students through its acclaimed assessment model, which authentically measures academic content, leadership skills, and deeper learning competencies, in order to better prepare students to succeed in college and their careers. Envision served approximately 1,320 students between the 3 school sites during the 24-25 fiscal year and operated for 178-179 days.

Operating model

Revenue model
Grant-funded. 92% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
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.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

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.
