Overview

Mission

Provide a tuition-free, high-quality, Christ-centered education for low-income students.

What it reported doing in 2018

Transportation: We provided transportation to and from school each day as well as transportation to weekly learning expeditions. There were no gaps in transportation and by adding additional routes we were able to significantly reduce the amount of time each scholar spent on the bus.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% 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 most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and the required major-donor schedule is missing or incomplete.
