Overview

Mission

Lift is an afterschool literacy and enrichment program for struggling readers in the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grade students in the Eastbrook South Elementary School District.

What it reported doing in 2024

Provided reading intervention for 36, 2nd, 3rd and 4th grade students using reading curriculum in a group and individual settings, including one-on-one reading time for each student. The goal is to see marked imporvement in the school classroom and on testing scores, which has been achieved with the majority of students. We have expanded this program by purchasing new teaching curriculum which incorporated some math concepts to help with those struggling with math.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 92% 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. Revenue has declined or grown slowly and expenses are high relative to revenue.
