What it reported doing in 2025
The homeschool collective provided educational support to five families during the 2024 school term. The students participated in several activities to enrich their educational experience. They learned about Kwanzaa, participated in horseback riding lessons, swimming lessons, theatre program, agriculture projects, and attended an end of the year overnight field trip to expose the inner city children to new environments and activities. The five families participated in the winter enrichment programs at recreation centers that included intergenerational yoga and put on a stage play. The homeschool collective provides the students with teachers, meals, enrichment through on- and off-site activities, and community engagement through partnerships with the local recreation center, a yoga instructor, and local artists.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
- 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
MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
