Garfield High School Foundation empowers young people to make a successful school-to-work transition by creating community-based opportunities for vocational and life-skills training. Through practical experience and classroom learning, students develop the knowledge and attitudes necessary to be successful in school and society. Garfield High School Foundation exists to transform young lives.

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
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. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and liabilities are high compared with assets.
