Overview
Mission
To support and enhance the education of students at Explorer Community School by providing charitable and educational funding for enrichment programs, field trips, classroom materials, school events, and other resources that promote students' academic, social, and emotional development.
What it reported doing in 2025
Organized and funded 15 educational field trips for 70 students within the Seattle metropolitan area. Programs focused on STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) and community civic themes to provide experiential learning outside the traditional classroom environment.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 83% 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
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
