Overview
Mission
Jamaica's Promise is a voluntary non-profit 501(c)(3) organization that provides resources and support needed by local organizations to improve the education and training of young people from disadvantaged circumstances and communities.
What it reported doing in 2023
The following activities are being conducted: 1 Urban alliance is an effort to advance the understanding that learning is social, emotional and cognitive and to fuel the growing movement to educate children as a whole people. 2 The GradNation campaign mobilizes education leaders to a 90 percent high school graduation rate to put more youth on the path to adult success. The campaign supports those working to raise graduation rates by sharing data, best practices and opportunities to connect and learn from one another. 3 The YES Project is a national initiative that brings youth, employers and a diverse group of stakeholders and advocates working to support and grow our youth workforce - with the goal of achieving full employment for young people by aged 16-24 by 2030.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
- 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 revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
