Overview
Mission
L e a d provides a tutoring and mentoring program empowering children from disadvantaged backgrounds to become educated, self-sufficient adults.
What it reported doing in 2020
Tutoring and mentoring serviceslead provided a variety of services for children both during the school year and summer months during its course of operations. The covid-19 pandemic impacted the ability for lead to carry out program activities as in the prior years. The pandemic required the summer programming be converted to a virtual format. During the school year, prior to the impact of covid in march, lead held weekly sessions to provide homework help (lessons in math, reading and science), computer time and dinner. Saturday sessions were held for individualized lessons in math, reading, science and life skills. Students were also exposed to art and computers and provided a breakfast snack and sack lunch. July sessions previously involved lessons and individualized work in core academics as well as life skills, art and computers. These sessions were held in virtual format this year and food items and/or resources were delivered directly to the homes of the students to fulfill their nutritional needs. During the holiday season similar assistance was provided to ensure the ongoing care of our students.
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 97% 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 revenue has declined or grown slowly.
