Overview

Mission

Generation WE was created so that all children have an opportunity to learn, to explore, and to ask questions about the many differences our human race embodies. Exposure to differences through storytelling and interactive experiences empowers children to grow and encourages them to embrace others. When a child explores humanity through multi sensory activities, it results in a deeper understanding of others, and at an earlier age. By providing children with opportunities to explore diverse stories, we hope to increase awareness about inclusion and belonging for all.

What it reported doing in 2024

Generation WE provides thoughtfully designed workshops that bring children together from varying backgrounds, abilities and interests through art, sports and other creative mediums to explore our uniqueness and to learn about the power of storytelling. WE believe that empowering youth to share their personal stories and differences leads to awareness and connection. WE believe that by bringing kids together in a natural way over creative activities and sports, WE can create a sense of true belonging for all. During 2024 over 1,400 books were donated to institutions and communities served by Generation WE and served just under 1,000 individuals.

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

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