We envision a world where every girl knows and activates her limitless potential and is free to boldly pursue her dreams. Girls on the Run strives to recognize our power and responsibility to be intentional in our decision making to embrace our differences and find strength in our connectedness to express joy, optimism, and gratitude through our words, thoughts, and actions to nurture our physical, emotional, and spiritual health to lead with an open heart and assume positive intent and to stand up for ourselves and others.
What it reported doing in 2024
Girls on the Run is a transformational physical activity based youth development program for girls in 3rd through 8th grade. We teach life skills through dynamic interactive lessons and running and are emotionally prepared to complete a celebratory 5k running event. The goal of the program is to unleash confidence through accomplishment while establishing a lifetime appreciation of health and fitness. In the fiscal year 2025, our organization served 677 participants across 10 counties in central Illinois.
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.
- Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.
The verdict
STRONG - 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.
