Overview

Mission

Provide education and training for entrepreneurs.

What it reported doing in 2015

Startup weekend - annual event during which entrepreneurs pitch ideas for startup companies. Teams of developers, graphic artists, etc form around idea. Over the weekend, the teams develop a business model and present a final pitch at the end. Event is open to the public. Participation range is 50-100 people.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 85% 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

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
