Overview
Mission
Created to provide programs that assist underserved children in understanding the value of an education and preparing them to take their rightful place as future leaders.
What it reported doing in 2024
S.t.e.a.m. And student success workshops - investing in my future believes that the key to success is proper preparation for higher education. We assist students with a variety of preparation tools, which include workshops such as resume building, essay writing, and financial literacy. We also believe that the fields of science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (s.t.e.a.m) are a focus of the future. We host two full-day workshops during the school year focused on s.t.e.a.m. Careers where presenters and speakers are invited to engage with students in careers that following a s.t.e.a.m. Curriculum can offer.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 84% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- 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. A relatively small share of total spending goes to programs and expenses are high relative to revenue.
