Overview
Mission
Inspire all girls to be strong, smart and bold.
What it reported doing in 2024
Eureka - starting the summer before a girl's 8th grade year. Each year, the program will look to recruit 25-30 girls in each cohort. For the first two summers, eureka participants will experience a four week summer camp on the cnse campus, engaging in nanoscale science, and personal and workforce development. They will also participate in regular group sports, individual sports and swimming. Girls who do not know how to swim will have the opportunity to learn. Each week there will be a field trip focused on stem. For the third and fourth summers, eureka participants will take part in the eureka internship program. They will choose from a number of exciting placements in local businesses and organizations. The eureka internship program is tailored to suit the individual needs and strengths of each student. In the fifth summer, the eureka participants will meet with the eureka coordinator to help guide them in securing an internship, job or summer program on their own. It is expected that participants will commit to eureka during the school year. During the first four school years, participants must earn a minimum of 14 credits to remain in the program. A variety of opportunities will be offered to fulfill this commitment and might include: an hour long group activity at their school; a one-on-one meeting with the eureka coordinator; a take home assignment; or participating in an organized community activity with the group.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 91% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 99% 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 most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
