Overview
Mission
We are a 501(c)(4) organization that creates and measures the impact of inspirational media. Currently, our efforts are focused on youth voting.
What it reported doing in 2024
Partnership Collective: The organization provided social welfare and civic engagement support to mission-aligned nonprofit and community organizations by equipping them with nonpartisan voter engagement tools and digital outreach resources. Partner organizations were enabled to serve as voter-recruitment and civic participation hubs within their communities. The program also offered digital strategy guidance and technical assistance to help partners expand their capacity, broaden their public engagement, and strengthen their issue-based outreach. All activities were conducted on a nonpartisan basis and did not support or oppose any candidate for public office.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 100% 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. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
