Overview

Mission

The mission of the Kump Education Center is to support student achievement through high-quality tutoring programs and professional development opportunities for teachers. Operating from the historic Kump House, former home of West Virginia's 19th governor, the Center also promotes historic preservation, heritage education, and cultural tourism by connecting learning opportunities with the history and significance of the site and the surrounding community.

What it reported doing in 2024

Education and providing a brighter future for students are central to the mission of the Kump Education Center. The Center works with local elementary schools to identify students who need extra help in math and reading and provides targeted tutoring to help them meet grade-level standards. Tutors are high school and college students who connect well with younger learners. Programs such as Math Magic combine tutoring, meals, and enrichment activities in a supportive after-school environment. The annual cost of the program is approximately $5,000. The Kump Education Center also offers summer educational programs that benefit both children and parents. In partnership with the YMCA summer day camp, children visit the historic Kump House weekly for educational activities and special events. Additional programs include a Spanish language and culture camp and a fun learning camp designed to reinforce skills learned during the school year. These summer programs cost approximately $4,000 to $5,000 annually and provide safe, enriching activities for children while helping working parents meet childcare needs during the summer months.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 84% 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

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
