Overview

Mission

Girls on the run is a positive youth development program which combines an interactive curriculum and running to inspire self-respect and healthy lifestyles in preteen girls. Our core curriculum addresses many aspects of a girls' developement - their physical, motional, mental, and social well-being. Lessons provide girls with the tools to make positive decisions and avoid risky behaviors.

What it reported doing in 2024

TO EDUCATE AND PREPARE GIRLS FOR A LIFETIME OF SELF RESPECT AND HEALTHY LIVING. THE ORGANIZATION SERVED 1,026 GIRLS IN York , Chester and Lancaster counties DURING THE FISCAL YEAR. We work with 75 area elementary and middle schools to provide programming twice a year. We host two 5K events a year that are open to the public and serve as the end of season celebration. These events attract over 2800 attendees.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 71% 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.

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 some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
