Overview

Mission

The corporation is organized exclusively for religious, charitable, scientific, literary, and educational purposes as set forth in the certificate of formation of the corporation.

What it reported doing in 2024

Tuition for after school care with an emphasis in religious education. Income includes prepaid tuition, monthly tuition, fees, application fees, and enrollment fees.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 84% 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. A relatively small share of voting board members are independent and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
