Overview

Mission

Isaacs Dream will provide educational needs for those who have no options, breaking the cycle of lost childhoods and giving hope for generations to come.

What it reported doing in 2024

Prosperity Academy - operated one main/centralized school, along with two satellite locations, accommodating nearly 600 students where previously no education options existed. In addition, started construction of a Trade School to serve students once they graduate from Prosperity Academy. Slated to fully open September of 2025.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 99% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 95% 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.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filing reports few safeguards for money sent abroad.
