Overview
Mission
Educating and empowering children in the kitchen.
What it reported doing in 2024
We taught weekly cooking lessons to children aged 9-12 in the Pilsen, East Garfield Park, and Hyde Park neighborhoods. There were two 8-week sessions at location and each session consisted of 20-25 children. In the sessions, the recipes increased in complexity as the children's confidence and skills built.
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. Reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
