What it reported doing in 2015
The Center for Innovative School Facilities is committed to improving the learning environment for all of Oregon's students over five years by providing Oregon's school districts with facility and real estate services, asset management, and resources and education. During 2015, accomplishments included the Board and volunteers completing year five of the 5 Year Strategic Plan, expanding the statewide inventory and research project, completing a statewide facility condition inventory, providing 68 school districts with education and training projects around facility needs and priorities.Making Connections, now called Connecting with Students, is an easy to use, readily accessible on-line relationship-building tool for any adult working with children. Research shows that kids who have a positive one-on-one relationship with a caring adult are more successful in school. Accomplishments in 2015 included providing relationship-building with at-risk students by training 9 organizations, 12 mentors and 33 mentees. Training focused on mentor recruitment, effectiveness, reflection and evaluation.
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
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 expenses are high relative to revenue.
