Overview

Mission

Inspiring all girls to be strong, smart, and bold

What it reported doing in 2024

Operation of one facility in the winter haven area providing daily supervised activities and classes for more than 250 girls during the school year. The summer program provides full-time supervised activities and classes for mare than 125 girls.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
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 some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
