Overview

Mission

We extend the impact of Hampden Elementary Middle School 55 by offering experiences beyond what public funding allows, empowering students, supporting educators, and strengthening community ties.

What it reported doing in 2025

Fund Small Grants: We support walkabouts, classroom reading nooks, after-school clubs, art supplies, and even school gardens grown by students. Build & Maintain Learning Spaces: From sponsoring an outdoor classroom to supporting a vibrant mural and maintaining the school playground, we create spaces that inspire learning and community. Foster Community: We've organized fun fundraising events such as the "Flock Party" (flamingos), fitness events, and the Bull & Oyster Roast. Advocate for the School: As parents, alumni, boosters, and neighbors, we are committed to advocacy, community, and excellence in school life.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 98% 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

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of total spending goes to programs. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
