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 transformative 12-week period, 1,421 girls across Chester, Delaware, and Montgomery Counties participated in an after-school program like no other. The Girls on the Run curriculum is designed to empower girls to recognize their inner strength and inspire them to define their lives on their own terms. With the support of 600 dedicated volunteers of which 421 were trained coaches they lead 89 teams. Participants engaged in lessons promoting positive emotional, social, mental, and physical development. Topics covered included managing emotions, building healthy relationships, internet safety, combating cyberbullying, and resisting harmful behaviors like eating disorders and substance use. These discussions encourage girls to explore their values, develop self-confidence, and prepare to navigate challenges they may face. The season culminated in the Girls on the Run 5K, a celebratory event uniting the community. This year, 4,500 attendees came together, including participants, families, and supporters. This impactful program not only fosters personal growth for the girls involved but also builds stronger, more supportive communities.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 66% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
- 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.
