Overview

Mission

Girls on the Run-DC is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization with the mission of inspiring girls to be joyful, healthy, and confident using a fun, experience-based curriculum that creatively integrates running.

What it reported doing in 2024

Girls on the Run-DC (GOTR-DC) is a before and after-school based positive youth development program serving over 1,800 girls per year across all eight wards of the District and Prince George's County, MD. The goal of the program is for girls to develop strength and character, respond to others and oneself with care and compassion, create positive connections with peers and adults, and make a meaningful contribution to community and society. 70% of girls in the program receive financial assistance from GOTR-DC. The girls are empowered with the help of over 850 volunteers a year.

Operating 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.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of total spending goes to programs and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
