Overview

Mission

Illustrated memoir work with immigrant and refugee youth to increase literacy and self-efficacy. We also share those memoirs as open educational resources to increase global understanding.

What it reported doing in 2024

Traveled to the Nakivale Refugee Settlement in Isingiro District, Uganda to run the Illustrated Memoir Project with 44 young refugees there throughout the month of May. We partnered with staff from Alight Uganda to coordinate work sites and logistics and arrange accommodations and facilitate travel. All 44 participants completed their memoirs which were assembled and published as bound books as well as digital books that were then shared back with the participants as well as with the library in the refugee settlement for permanent circulation.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 85% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 84% 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 - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
