Overview

Mission

We inspire girls to be joyful, healthy, and confident using a fun, experience-based curriculum which creatively integrates running.

What it reported doing in 2024

Over a period of 10 weeks, girls in the 3rd through 5th grade participate in an after-school program like no other. Designed to allow every girl to recognize her inner strength, the Girls on the Run curriculum inspires girls to define their lives on their own terms. Throughout the season, the girls make new friends, build their confidence and celebrate all that makes them unique. During this fiscal year 382 girls participated in the program. Scholarship valued at $34,353 were awarded to 206 girls. The program was offered at 24 sites in Jefferson Parish, Orleans Parish, and Plaquemines Parish.

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. A relatively small share of total spending goes to programs and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
