Overview

Mission

Build, nurture and educate a global community who celebrate technology as a meduim for productivity, creativity, and connectedness. As such, we provide underserved and underrepresented communities with access to development resources, educators and leaders.

What it reported doing in 2016

The Big Android BBQ 2016 - October 21,22 23 - was held at the Hurst Conference Center, Hurst, Texas. It consisted of a three day intensive developer conference that provided cutting edge developer discussions and hands on training to over 1,000 attendees. The cost ranged from 75 to 300 depending on the programs attended. We were able to provide this extraordinary value through partnerships with companies like Google and Facebook that provided subject matter expert speakers and other neccessary resources needed to execute a conference of this size. During this conference, we were able to achieve our major goal of introducing local low income middle and high school students to coding / careers in development. Over 200 students from 3 different Dallas area schools attended sessions and specialized talks. We were able to de-mystify what it means to be a software developer and show them that you dont need to be a math major or rocket scientist to be a delveloper. These students enjoyed a free lunch with many developer volunteers and industry leaders.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 100% 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

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
