Overview
Mission
To inspire, educate and prepare girls for a lifetime of self-respect, positive relationships and healthy active living
What it reported doing in 2024
GOTR Middle Tennessee runs a 10-week after-school program for 3rd through 8th grade girls, where we use our tested SEL curriculum to help youth girls build confidence by learning self-mastery. By creating a safe space for them to practice and implement critical life skills such as, self-care, kindness to self and others, kindness and communication skills we help prepares them for a lifetime of self-respect and healthy living through running. We use running as a tool to understand self-mastery and connection and care to their mental and physical well-being. In 2024, GOTR successfully engaged 188 participants. Of those served, 52% received financial assistance, highlighting the program's commitment to accessibility, with operations at 7 out of 15 site locations being Title 1 schools. We awarded $16,897.50 in program scholarships and discounts to youth girls across Davidson, Wilson, and Sumner Counties.
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
MIXED - 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.
