Overview

Mission

Primary Exempt Purpose Statement Attached

What it reported doing in 2024

The After School/Summer & Related Programs - Provided educational, social recreational & enrichment activities for youth in the Wayne Highlands School District. Approximately one hundred elementary/middle school students participate. Relatively few paid staff coordinated the efforts of approximately thirty volunteers.

Operating model

Revenue model
Grant-funded. 75% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
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 - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
