Overview

Mission

Our primary purpose is to support the students of John Malcom Elementary with instructional aides, campus safety improvements, S.T.E.A.M. Innovation Lab upgrades, and other programs not funded by federal, state, or district budgets.

What it reported doing in 2024

Paid for instructional aides, campus safety improvements, campus upgrades, and supplies for the S.T.E.A.M. Innovation Lab.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 100% of the money available for current operations came from other operating revenue.
Distribution model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent spending detail to tell whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filed totals do not add up.
