Overview
Mission
The specific purpose of this corporation is to provide individualized coaching, mentorship, and resources to empower first-generation and low-income high school and college students and other students and graduates to explore post-high school opportunities, build professional networks, and achieve lifelong academic and career success.
What it reported doing in 2025
We currently have nine students in the program and have paired them up with their own mentors. We continue to recruit more students and more mentors. Our expenses are associated with printing and website design and maintenance.
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
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and expenses are high relative to revenue.
