Overview

Mission

Fspp is a community based organization that specializes in providing children and families with the knowledge they need to reach their highest potential.

What it reported doing in 2023

Communities that care grant run in fayette and rush counties to help with duties related to implementing evidence-based substance abuse prevention programs.

Operating model

Revenue model
Grant-funded. 90% 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.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
