Overview

Mission

Korean culture education for kids K-6th grade

What it reported doing in 2025

Approximately 330 students, grades K-6th primarily of Korean descent, participate in a one week Korean Culture Camp. Camp includes classes in Language, Culture, Art, History, Self-Esteem, Music and TaeKwondo

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 96% 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. Reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
