What it reported doing in 2024

Is an inclusive social, emotional and ethical learning program that exposes students to the tools and skills to embody universal values such as mindfulness, gratitude, compassion, joy, peace and inquiry. This original, secular curriculum, written by the executive co-directors, is influenced by emory universitys social, emotional and ethical learning program, hawn foundations mindup, and dr. Daniel siegels research and practice. Currently, this program is offered to elementary age children. It meets after school on tuesdays and thursdays and runs for 15 weeks, with three 5-week sessions. This year connect! Served approximately 51 students and their families while enlisting 16 students and adult volunteers along with 6 teachers. Over 165 people were affected by the program. Not only did connect! Provide after school child care, it also supported the social and emotional well-being of children and families in the community.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 81% 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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
