Overview

Mission

Training program for the iec-electrical apprenticeship program

What it reported doing in 2015

Provide training to individuals in the electrical industry. 12 students graduated from the apprenticeship program during the year.

Operating model

Revenue model: Earned-program. 100% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model: Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent spending detail to tell whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filed totals do not add up and the available information about grant readiness automatic revocation leaves an important question unanswered.

Moderate — Transparency & Controls: Part III program expenses within total did not reconcile in the filed values.
High — Grant Readiness: Automatic revocation: this organization had its federal tax-exempt status automatically revoked.
