Overview
Mission
Provide charitable and educational services, including the promotion of the welfare of children. The Corporation acts as an intermediary between the Erie County court system and volunteers, which act in the interest of children in Erie County, Pennsylvania
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
- 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. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and expenses are high relative to revenue.
