Overview
Mission
Our mission at Heartwise Scholars is the build a socially motivated network of scholars ages 5 to 18 who take care of themselves, the community, and the world.
What it reported doing in 2025
Our summer enrichment program is hosted 6 weeks in the summer from the end of June to the first week in August from 9:00-3:30 pm. We do morning enrichments from morning meetings, book club, Mathletics, and Spanish. Then, we transition to lunch and recess before afternoon enrichment sessions and a project-based time in Art, Music, PE, and a group community field trip.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
- 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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
