Overview
Mission
Freshbrain is focused on enhancing the education of youth in the areas of business and technology by providing students with a progressive on-line environment which utilizes cutting edge technology to enable collaboration on a variety of activities and projects.
What it reported doing in 2010
The freshbrain.org website is in sustaining mode only. The content that was created over the years continues to be available for use by teens all over the world. They can access the projects, activities and learning paths, share their work, interact through the social networking features of the site. They can also continue to use the free tools referred to by the site. All of this is supported with very limited effort from volunteers. No new content was created this year.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Investment-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from recurring investment income.
- Distribution model
- No current program activity. The filing reports no program spending for the current year.
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.
