Overview

Mission

The Istand4Dylan Foundation is organized to support students pursuing vocational pathways following high school graduation. This organization primarily raises funds through donations and an annual memorial charitable golf outing in honor of Dylan McGinnis. During the tax year the organization awarded scholarships totaling $27,000 to local education foundations including Western Boone Education Foundation Noblesville Schools Education Foundation and Westfield Education Foundation to support students seeking careers in skilled trades and vocational fields.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Transfer-based 990-EZ. The 990-EZ reports grants or member benefits, but it does not separate enough spending to show the nonprofit’s full delivery mix.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and program spending has grown recently. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
