Overview
Mission
The mission of Gentlemen By Choice is to develop tomorrow's leaders today through Leadership, Image, Financial Management and Etiquette (L.I.F.E.) training to at risk youth. This is accomplished through the implication of evidenced based curriculum and collaboration with several programs.
What it reported doing in 2024
Youth Personal Development and Leadership Training In 2024-2025, Gentlemen By Choice (GBC) proudly marked its 10th year of service, continuing to equip young men and young ladies with essential life and leadership skills. Our L.I.F.E. curriculum-Leadership, Image, Financial Management, and Etiquette-was expanded to include Personal Development, strengthening our ability to address social-emotional needs and prepare students for success. This year, GBC served 180 students ages 10-16, delivering 150+ hours of instruction across three Clark County schools and a community resource center. At the community center, we achieved a 100% completion rate, while in schools we observed a decrease in disciplinary incidents.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Grant-funded. 75% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
- 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 - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and expenses are high relative to revenue.
