Overview

Mission

Jubilee jumpstart prepares children from low-income families for success in school and life.

What it reported doing in 2024

Jubilee JumpStart prepares young children from low-income household for success in school and life through high-quality, full-day, full-year, bilingual early childhood education and comprehensive family supports. Over the 2024-2025 program year, Jubilee JumpStart served 47 enrolled children and their families through developmentally appropriate instruction, individualized formative assessment, family engagement, and referrals to community resources. Teachers documented childrens learning through observation-based portfolios and reviewed progress at fall, winter, and spring checkpoints. By the final checkpoint, 91% of children met or exceeded benchmarks their age across learning and developmental domains. Jubilee JumpStart also provided wraparound family supports addressing food security, diaper access, family stability, health, and access to public benefits and community resources. Services open to the broader community such as clothing donations, free pop-up market, and diaper distributions reached hundreds of additional beneficiaries, with 65,300 diapers distributed over the program year alone. The organization also invested in teacher development and began preparations for expansion to a second early childhood center at Truesdell Elementary School, which will add six infant and toddler classrooms and up to 56 additional seats for DC families in the 2025-2026 program year.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 62% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
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 - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
